Function doesn't work correctly with protection on
Function commenttext2(incell As String) As String If incell " " Then commenttext2 = InputBox("Please enter you datasheet comment for" & " " & " " & ActiveSheet.Range("c41").Value) End Function I have this function set so when the user enters a number into cel B41, they are prompted with an inputBox. Works great withou protection. It works with protection, but only when I go to Save o Exit the spreadsheet.

If the sheet is protected with the default protection, they won't b able to change the comments. When you protect the sheet, allow them t "Edit Objects" HT -- tkstoc ----------------------------------------------------------------------- tkstock's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=1444 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=37910 |

Function doesn't work correctly with protection on
When it works the way I want it to, they enter a number (1-17) and whe they press Enter, the input box appears asking for a comment. With th protection (w/ password) and Edit Objects checked, it doesn't work unti I press save and then it activates the input boxes in order. The workbook is also protected - if that helps any. thank -- BigDav ----------------------------------------------------------------------- BigDave's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...nfo&userid=774 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=37910 |

So...B14 captures the the comment typed into the input box -- BigDav ----------------------------------------------------------------------- BigDave's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...nfo&userid=774 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=37910 |

My apologies - I thought you were really attempting to use cel comments. The function I have will work for you though. The code would b something like this: Code ------------------- Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Address = "$B$41" then Range("B140") = InputBox("Enter comment:") End If End Su ------------------- When I set it up the way you had it, it wouldn't prompt me until entered a value in the cell for a *second* time - I have no clue o that one! :) HT -- tkstoc ----------------------------------------------------------------------- tkstock's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=1444 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=37910 |

Okay...code works now. The calculation mode was set to manual b another proceedure. But, I'm not in the clear yet. I'm still curious about alternatives to comment prompts were discussin here, but I'll sort out my new problem in another thread.
