How do I create a prompt box?
Try this Workbook event macro:
Private Sub Workbook_Open() Sheets("Sheet1").Activate MsgBox ("Please Update Cell A1") End Sub Because it is workbook code, it is very easy to install and use: 1. right-click the tiny Excel icon just to the left of File on the Menu Bar 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 To learn more about macros in general, see: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm To learn more about Event Macros (worksheet code), see: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/event.htm -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200800 "John" wrote: WHat I am trying to do is create a prompt bx when I open a specific excel file.
