Message Box before Save
 

I have a specific template that I fill out for certain requests. When
hit “SAVE AS”, is there a way to create a message box that says, "Di
you review the market code" and then provides a check box that say
"no" or "yes". If it you click "yes," then the workbook could be saved
if you click "no" it would give you the opportunity to review your work
and do SAVE AS again. I only need this for one specific template; i
only needs to be saved there, not in the personal.xls. A message bo
like this would really help cut down on the errors as we have 7
variables and many of them differ only by one character.

I have a basic understanding of VBA code, SQL and macros. If anyon
could help me, I would appreciate it.


Thank

Message Box before Save
 

How about a command button labeled "Save As" or whatever. The msgbox could
come up first and, if answered "Yes" then an inputbox could come up to allow
the "SaveAs" specs. The code following would then do the save.

You could do it in the BeforeSave event.

See Chip Pearson's page on events for an overview

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/events.htm

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim ans as Long
ans = MsgBox("Did you review the market code", vbYesNo)
if ans = vbNo then
msgbox "Please review the market code"
cancel = true
exit sub
end if
End Sub
