MsgBox Prompt, Command Buttons (Optional), Title Bar (Optional)

MsgBox "You can't get there from here.",vbOKOnly,"Box Title Bar"

You can get a return value for a variable by declaring the variable and
using the MsgBox function:

dim intYesNo as Integer

intYesNo = MsgBox("Want to Continue?,vbYesNo,"Dialog Box Title")

If you don't provide a command button or title bar the OK command button is
used as the default along with the default title bar for the message box

As you are not using the result of the Msgbox function
you have to take the brackets out, so:

MsgBox "Fill in the Missing Information!", vbOK, "warning"
etc.

Didn't your code show up in red?

Hello,

I think you should delete the parentheses in the MsgBox function as
follows:

If Worksheets("sheet5").Range("c6") = " " Then
MsgBox "Fill in the Missing Information!", vbOK, "Warning"
Worksheets("sheet5").Range("c6").Select 'Added
Exit Sub 'Added
End If

The "Exit Sub" is added to enable the user to complete the information.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Try putting this in the Worksheet

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim msg, style, title, response

If Sheet5.Range("c5").Value = "" Or _
Sheet5.Range("c7").Value = "" Or _
Sheet5.Range("c8").Value = "" Or _
Sheet5.Range("c9").Value = "" Then
msg = "Please complete the missing information"
title = "Required Information Missing"
style = vbOKOnly + vbExclamation + vbDefaultButton1 +
vbApplicationModal
response = MsgBox(msg, style, title)
End If

End Sub

End Sub
