Event handling...
Excel Helper
I have a list of names in column A. What i want is program whereby if I enter a new name at the bottom of the column, if it is a duplicate (i.e. name appears elsehwere in list) then a msgbox appears telling em it is a duplicate. Now I can actauly ahcieve this in VBA but... I have to actaully execute the macro maually. How can i get the macro to run automatically i.e. I enter a new name, press enter, and the macro runs without me clicking a separate button to run it of pressing F5 etc. I have tried... Application.Volatile Application. OnKey Application. Onaction How do I get Excel to run a macro once an event has occurred. Any insights appreciated... Alex |
