Message Box
 

I just have a quick question. I have a tab called MASTER and I want to
have a message box pop up whenever someone clicks on this MASTER tab
warning them "Changing these two dates, changes all dates in the
headers of the Excel Worksheet." I believe there is a message box that
shows a circle with an X in it and I think you use +vbCritical, but I'm
not positive. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Look in Excel VBA help at the msgbox command. It pretty much explains the
options.

In a module, type msgbox, highlight it and hit F1


for information on events (sheet activate event for example) see Chip

Hi

Rightclick the sheet tab, choose "view code", paste this in

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
MsgBox "How dare you, o deadly one !", _
vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "Kneel !"
End Sub

Alter the text to fit you needs.

HTH. Best wishes Harald

For this you could set an event trigger when selecting the worksheet in
question.
Open the VB editor (Alt+F11) then double click the sheet name in Project
Explorer window. Then select Worksheet and Activate from the two drop down
boxes above the code window and enter

MsgBox "Changing these two dates changes all dates in the headers of the
Excel Worksheets", vbCritical

or just copy this

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
MsgBox "Changing these two dates changes all dates in the headers of the
Excel Worksheets", vbCritical
End Sub
