Default Comments/Warning fields

Is there anyway to set a warning message to pop up depending on what gets
entered into a cell?
For example if someone puts a number less than 100, can i program a pop up
to say "Warning have you though of...?"

Hi

You probably can with VBA programming. An alternative would be to use a
helper cell with a formula in, or conditional formatting, or even a data
validation message.
Post back if you need any further guidance.
