XL2002 - trigger sheet event BEFORE deactivating
Hi All
I want to inform a user of incomplete cells if they attempt to move to a different worksheet. The Worksheet_Deactivate event takes the focus away from the current sheet before running the code. Is there another event I can use that runs before displaying the next sheet? Thanks in advance Trevor Williams |

Hi Trevor,
What you are looking for is a BeforeDeactivate event with a Cancel, and there isn't one. Workaround is to reactivate the sheet if necessary Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate() If Len(Range("A1")) = 0 Then ' empty cell A1 On Error GoTo errH: ' if necessary disable events Application.EnableEvents = False Me.Activate Application.Goto Range("A1"), True MsgBox "Complete cell A1" End If errH: Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub Regards, Peter T "Trevor Williams" wrote in message ...

I don't think so. We need a 'before deactivate' event with a cancel option.
As a result of this limitation I hide worksheet tabs and make users use my buttons or menus instead. -- Jim "Trevor Williams" wrote in message ... | Hi All | | I want to inform a user of incomplete cells if they attempt to move to a | different worksheet. | | The Worksheet_Deactivate event takes the focus away from the current sheet | before running the code.

Hi Peter,
That's what I thought. Bit of an oversight on MS behalf. (perhaps it's in 2007) I'm using navigation controls on my sheets so I'm going with Jim Rech's option. Thanks for the response.

Thanks Jim
I'm using nav buttons so will bolt it onto them. Trevor "Jim Rech" wrote: I don't think so. We need a 'before deactivate' event with a cancel option.

You may need to trap Ctrl-PageUp/Down with too that approach
