Default Using values of cells in a comment

MS Excel 2003
I'm writing a macro that will insert a comment in a cell based upon the cell
value. For instance,
A B C D E
1 Address City State Phone 1

What I want to happen is that if E1 = 1 then
Insert a comment in cell E1 as follows:
A1
B1, C1
D1

to read
Street
City, State
Phone

I've got the AddComment working, but how do I pull the values of A1-D1 to
use as text in the comment?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Default Using values of cells in a comment

YES! Thanks man! Here's the code I was working with and now does what I
want, now I just need to trim it:

Range("a1:e3").ClearComments
For col = 1 To 5
For Row = 1 To 3
If Cells(Row, col) = 1 Then
Cells(Row, col).AddComment
Cells(Row, col).Comment.Visible = False
Cells(Row, col).Comment.Text Text:=Cells(Row, 6).Value & Chr(10)
& Cells(Row, 7).Value & ", " & Cells(Row, 8).Value & Chr(10) &
Cells(Row, 9).Value
End If
Next
Next

Thanks again.

If Cell.Value = 1 Then
With Cell.Offset(0, -4)
s = .Range("A1").Value & _
Chr(10) & Range("B1").Value _
& ", " & Range("C1").Value _
& Chr(10) & Range("D1").Value
End With
Cell.NoteText s
End If
Next
End Sub

worked for me.
