Requiring Cell Input
Hello,
I have a spreadsheet that I use as a form. I'd like to make a madatory field that requires input in cell A1. Any ideas on how to require input? I have one idea to say "when user tries to save, if cell A1 is empty, show a message box that states 'Input required in cell A1.' " I'm open to other ideas too. The easier the solution the better as I'm not a VBA programmer. Scott |
Requiring Cell Input
Try this in the ThisWorkbook module
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave _ (ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) Set magiccell = Sheets("sheet2").Range("a1") If Len(Application.Trim(magiccell)) < 1 Then Application.Goto magiccell MsgBox "Fill in required cell" Cancel = True End If End Sub -- Don Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software "Scott" wrote in message ...
