I have a spreadsheet that I would like to be forced to enter a comment in
each cell when atempting to exit the cell. If no comment is made, no
information can be place in the original cell.

This worksheet event macro forces a comment in Cell B9:

Dim got_here As Boolean

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Set b9 = Range("B9")
If Intersect(Target, b9) Is Nothing Then
If got_here Then
If b9.Comment Is Nothing Then
b9.Select
Else
got_here = False
End If
End If
Else
got_here = True
End If

End Sub



Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.

To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
