I have a fairly large spreadsheet in which I have protected certai
cells from being accidentially modified by the user by setting Data -
Validation - Custom - =. I have found that it would be much mor
beneficial if I could instead have a pop-up box when a user tried t
modify a certain cell asking for verification before allowing them t
modify the cell. Is there a way to specify certain cells to call
pop-up box when a user tries to modify them

You might want to look at the worksheet selection change event.

Change $A$1 to your cell address
Or you can generalize it by looking at
target.row and/or target.column

If target.Address = "$A$1" then
'code for pop-up
Else ' alternate code
End If

Post back if you need actual code.

Delayed reply, been busy lately :)

Actually, if you could post a few lines of sample code that would be
great, I've never worked with the worksheet selection change event.

Thanks.
