Dear All,
I am currently doing a program in which I gave inout messages to nearly all
of the cells in a Single sheet. I kept because this message/information will
be useful if the user is new person. But my old users don't want the input
message as it irks always when the entering cells. So I decided to give one
checkbox in such a way that if he click the checkbox, all the input messages
of all cells will be hided. If he want the input message back he can again
click the check box by removing the tick sign in it and after he can see the
input messages in all the cells. I wrote the foll. coding also for it.

Sub CheckBox31_Click()
If Cells(6, 8).Value = "True" Then
Range("C11:P210").Validation.ShowInput = False
Else
ActiveSheet.Range("C11:P210").Validation.ShowInput = True
End If
End Sub

But during "Run" it is showing the error as "Application-defined or
object-defined error" which I cannot understand even after entering the
"help" command.
Please help me to sort out the problem.

Regards,
Premanand.S

Perhaps drop ActiveSheet from the Else. Qualify the range the same way in
both condition statements.

Thanks for your reply and also for explaining the application of "For Each "
function.
I run the program with this coding but unfortunately still I am getting the
same error as I explained in my previous post "Application-defined or
object-defined error".
Please guide me whether there should be any requirement error statement in
the above coding.

Both methods work for me using the entire range and the For...Each. On what
line of code are you getting the error?

OK Premanand, let's try this one. It uses a different criteria in the If ..
Then statement.

Sub CheckBox31_Click()
Dim c As Range
If Cells(6, 8).Value = "True" Then
For Each c In Range("C11:P210")
If c.Validation.Value Then
c.Validation.ShowInput = False
End If
Next
Else
For Each c In Range("C11:P210")
If c.Validation.Value Then
c.Validation.ShowInput = True
End If
Next
End If
End Sub

Your error is being generated when there is no Validation assigned to the
cell. You need to also be aware that copying from one cell and pasting to a
cell that had valication assigned will remove the validation property from
the receiving cell. So if there is any copying and pasting in your code, you
could be eliminating validation from cells that you think you have it in.
Good luck.

Thanks Sir..
I finally found the result with the help of your suggestions in last mail.
I just enter into those cells (with in the range) in which there is no
validation, I simply type "Info" in all the Title of Input messages. As you
know the title of input message will only come if you type any input messafge
in those cells. Otherwise it do not show any message zlthough if we write
something in Title of Input message.
Hence I typed "Info" in thoise cells. Noe the error is not showing. It is
working fine.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Mr.Mike , I'm thanking you also for alerting me that the commands are
working fine in your workbook which makes me to find out my mistake.

Thanks
