Hi.

Is there any way to incorporate a message box alert when a certain
phrase is typed?

For example:

If the word "rekey" is typed in column D, a stop alert will pop up and
say "please provide more detailed info...".

I need the word "rekey" not to remain after the alert is triggered.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "D:D" '<== change to suit

On Error GoTo ws_exit
Application.EnableEvents = False

If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
If .Value = "ReKey" Then
MsgBox "please provide more detailed info..."
.Value = ""
End If
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Any way to make that non-case sensitive?

(currently searches for ReKey in this tense only).

Hi

You can use Ucase or Lcase

If LCase(.Value) = "rekey" Then
