Default Can this be done with coding?

I have a question that I don't know if Excel can handle or not? Also please
note that I am a "newbie" to Excel, and definitly to coding. Most of the
coding in my workbook was done the simple way (assistance from friends who
wrote the code, and gave me the necessary buttons to launch the codes
itself-e.g. a sort button to automatically sort my spreadsheet by last name).
I merely copied and pasted the code into the VB editor along with the
executable buttons to make the program function. So be gentle with me on
explanations, lol.

I have a spreadsheet where column A carries "last name", column B carries
"first name", and column AS carries "comments" (with several columns of other
requirements in between).

I use column AS (comments) to enter a variety of client information such as
(but not limited to):

communications between clients and our agency
calls from counselors about our clients
comments regarding disruptive client interactions
reminders regarding action that needs to be taken on a particular client

There is no formula in this column and it is formatted for "general" data
entry. I've seen an Access program which has an "executable" CLICK ON
comments pop up field that can be directly linked to a clients name, and the
user can open a pop up window for reviewing, editing, or inputting additional
comments made. The comments can also be merged with MS Word for printing, as
many comments need to be put on paper for the purpose of a "hard copy" record.

My question is whether or not "coding" can create something similar to what
I described above (a macro button to click on which would open a window for
comments/notes) so I can remove the comments sections (from the two
spreadsheets within my workbook).

Column A and B also use Dynamic Ranges fyi:

=OFFSET('New Rule Clients'!$A$4,,,COUNTA('New Rule Clients'!$B:$B)-2,1)
=OFFSET('New Rule Clients'!$B$4,,,COUNTA('New Rule Clients'!$B:$B)-2,1)

Any suggestions on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Dan
