Default Show Comment when in the cell

Is it possible to make a comment appear when the keyboard cursor goes
to that particular cell instead of mouse moving on to the cell?

This one will toggle it on and off with each selection of the cell.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
On Error Resume Next
If ActiveCell.Comment.Visible = True Then
ActiveCell.Comment.Visible = False
Else
ActiveCell.Comment.Visible = True
End If
End Sub

Put this in worksheet code:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim cmt As Comment
Set cmt = Target.Comment
If cmt Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If
Target.Comment.Visible = True
End Sub


now both cursor keys and MouseOver will make a comment visible.

You can also show messages by adding data validation to a cell

Select the cell, and choose DataValidation
On the Input Message, enter a title and the message.
Click OK

There's a bit more information he

Thanks Debra,
That is exactly what I needed. Thanks to others also. But I slightly
fear from using VB Code.
Thanks to all
Manju
