From: Al on 18 Dec 2009 09:45 I have tried several different things to make this work and need professional help. I have an Excel form with several fields (11 all together) that require user input before it can be or should be allowed to be saved. The first code I tried, and I was new at this with Excel, was to try multiple actions like the following (which did not work) Oh, I should say that it worked for the very first cell but none after that: Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) If Range("E10").Value = "" Then On Error Resume Next Application.EnableEvents = False Range("E10").Select Application.EnableEvents = True MsgBox ("You must enter a value for 'Department Name'") End If End Sub Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange1(ByVal Target As Range) If Range("E11").Value = "" Then On Error Resume Next Application.EnableEvents = False Range("E11").Select Application.EnableEvents = True MsgBox ("You must enter a value for 'Address'") End If End Sub Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange2(ByVal Target As Range) If Range("E12").Value = "" Then On Error Resume Next Application.EnableEvents = False Range("E12").Select Application.EnableEvents = True MsgBox ("You must enter a value for 'Contract Type'") End If End Sub .. .. .. Then I realized it was not working because I was changing the very name of the action that made it work "Worksheet_SelectionChange" so I tried nesting the If statements, which also did not work: Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) If Excel.ActiveCell = E10 Then If Range("E10").Value = "" Then On Error Resume Next Application.EnableEvents = False Range("E10").Select Application.EnableEvents = True MsgBox ("Please enter a Department Name") End If Else If Excel.ActiveCell = E11 Then If Range("E11").Value = "" Then On Error Resume Next Application.EnableEvents = False Range("E11").Select Application.EnableEvents = True MsgBox ("Please enter an Address") End If Else If Excel.ActiveCell = E12 Then If Range("E12").Value = "" Then On Error Resume Next Application.EnableEvents = False Range("E12").Select Application.EnableEvents = True MsgBox ("Please enter a 'Contract Type'") End If Else If Excel.ActiveCell = E13 Then If Range("E12").Value = "" Then On Error Resume Next Application.EnableEvents = False Range("E12").Select Application.EnableEvents = True MsgBox ("Please enter a 'Contract Document Type'") End If Else If Excel.ActiveCell = E14 Then If Range("E12").Value = "" Then On Error Resume Next Application.EnableEvents = False Range("E12").Select Application.EnableEvents = True MsgBox ("Please enter a Contractor") End If Else If Excel.ActiveCell = E15 Then If Range("E12").Value = "" Then On Error Resume Next Application.EnableEvents = False Range("E12").Select Application.EnableEvents = True MsgBox ("Please enter a Contractor Address") End If .. .. .. Ok, so I thought I need to simplify this and went to a Select Case statement, which of course also does not work: Private Sub Contract_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean) Select Case Excel.Range Case "E10" = "" MsgBox "Please enter enter a Department Name" Cancel = True 'cancels the save event Case "E11" = "" MsgBox "Please enter an Address" Cancel = True 'cancels the save event Case "E12" = "" MsgBox "Please enter a 'Contract Type'" Cancel = True 'cancels the save event Case "E13" = "" MsgBox "Please enter a 'Contract Document Type'" Cancel = True 'cancels the save event Case "E14" = "" MsgBox "Please enter a Contractor" Cancel = True 'cancels the save event Case "E15" = "" MsgBox "Please enter a Contractor Address" Cancel = True 'cancels the save event Case "E17" = "" MsgBox "Please enter a Project Title" Cancel = True 'cancels the save event Case "O10" = "" MsgBox "Please enter a Contact Name" Cancel = True 'cancels the save event Case "O11" = "" MsgBox "Please enter a Telephone Number" Cancel = True 'cancels the save event Case "A23" = "" MsgBox "Please enter a Summary" Cancel = True 'cancels the save event Case "A44" = "" MsgBox "Please enter a Request for Action Description" Cancel = True 'cancels the save event End Select End Sub I am hoping that someone has seen or done something like this and can tell me that this is possible. I really appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you in advance, Al
From: Ryan H on 18 Dec 2009 09:54 I think for what you are doing, you don't need VB. You can just use Data Validation. Just Select the Cell you want to have data validated, put in your parameters, message Title and Input message, and other settings if you like. Then if the user doesn't meet your specifications the message box will pop-up. Hope this helps! If so, let me know, click "YES" below. -- Cheers, Ryan "Al" wrote: > I have tried several different things to make this work and need professional > help.

From: Al on 18 Dec 2009 11:00 Thank you Ryan, unfortunately I forgot to mention that I had already thought of that too. This is a form that was sent to me from another group in our organization in hopes that I could apply this magical fix to it because I do a lot of VBA programming in Access. Well, Access is a completely different animal than Excel. If it were Access I could just place the response on the "LostFocus" event of the field and be done with it. Excel unfortunately does not afford that luxury. Al "Ryan H" wrote: > I think for what you are doing, you don't need VB. You can just use Data > Validation.

Try pasting this entire code in your ThisWorkbook Before Save Event. Hope this helps! If so, let me know, click "YES" below.
