Hi there, can anyone help? I have a workbook made of 4 sheets, Main,
Start, Amendments, Leaver. the main sheet will link you to the sheet
required and I need the user to fill in the mandatory cells depending
on which sheet is being used, at the end besore saving I need to place
a code that will check and return to the sheet if the mandatory cells
are blank. but each sheet has different cells so here is the module
that governs the whole workbook and will auto print and save with the
right paramenters and it works fine:

Sub Auto_Open()

'Prepares the display for input
'Remove main menu and toolbars
Application.CommandBars(1).Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("Standard").Enabled = True 'False
Application.CommandBars("Formatting").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("Drawing").Enabled = False
Application.CommandBars("Reviewing").Enabled = False
ActiveWindow.DisplayWorkbookTabs = False 'True
Application.DisplayFormulaBar = False

Application.StatusBar = "Welcome to the Brookwood Employment
Information Form."

End Sub
Sub Auto_Close()

' this routine prints to the difault printer

MsgBox ("I will now print 2 copies of this file, please send one
to HR and keep one for your file."), vbYNOnly, ("PRINT FORMS ......")

ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=2, Collate:=True

'this routine saves the file for future consultation

Application.StatusBar = "Please Wait - Saving File"
workbookname = "EIF - " &
Worksheets("starter").Range("c6").Value
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
TestifFolderExists = fs.folderexists("c:\EIF")
If TestifFolderExists = False Then
MkDir "c:\EIF"
Else
On Error Resume Next
' Kill "c:\EIF\*.*"
On Error GoTo 0
End If
RecordFile = "C:\EIF\" & workbookname & Format(Date, "
ddd,dd,mmm,yy") & " - " & Format(Time, " HH,MM,SS") & ".xls"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs RecordFile

MsgBox ("Your file has now been saved in C:\EIF, the file has a
time stamp so it can be retrieved, you can also change the file name
once saved. Thank you"), vbYNOnly, ("Saving...")


'Reverts the display to normal use

'Set environment options
With Application
.EditDirectlyInCell = True
.CellDragAndDrop = True
.MoveAfterReturn = True
End With

Application.CommandBars(1).Enabled = True 'False
Application.CommandBars("Standard").Enabled = True 'False
Application.CommandBars("Formatting").Enabled = True 'False
Application.CommandBars("Drawing").Enabled = True 'False
Application.CommandBars("Reviewing").Enabled = True 'False
ActiveWindow.DisplayWorkbookTabs = True
Application.DisplayFormulaBar = True 'False


ThisWorkbook.Saved = True


End Sub

it to work Can anyone help me? Thanks
