How can I install a Message Box?
I am creating an absence report form for work and would like to have a
message box appear when a supervisor tries to enter more sick days than the employee is allowed. I would like the box to say: The employee has exceeded his/her accrued amount of sick days. Then would like the buttons: Retry or Cancel |

need more info.
how do you calculate the sick time? xl will have to duplicate this math. this is what will trigger the msgbox. what is the data layout? rows or columns? need this so xl will know what to add up. do emps have different rates or do all have the same amout of sick time? need a qualifier. the macro will reside in the worksheet's on change event and do the math every time someone enters data in the worksheet. -----Original Message----- I am creating an absence report form for work and would like to have a message box appear when a supervisor tries to enter more sick days than the employee is allowed.

You don't tell us how/where the number is accrued? We can't give a solution
without some details. BTW, how can you have a sick limit? Do they automatically get better when they reach that number? -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "jones360" wrote in message ...

All employees are given 5 personal/sick days for the entire year. They
cannot exceed this amount and they do not carry over from year to year. The data is compiled in a column format. Thanks!

Do you have a total cell per employee? If so, you could do conditional
formatting on that cell. For instance, say you have a total in A1, with the details in A1:An, then you could set CF on A1 with a test of greater than 5, and set the cell colour for this test. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "jones360" wrote in message ...
