Msgbox when a cell with a specific text entry is selected.

[andreas]

Dear Experts:

I would like to have a macro code which will bring up a message box
when the cell containing the word "REPORT" is either ...

- activated/selected
- or about to be deleted (the user selects the entire column/row for
deletion or the cell in question (and possible adjacent cells) to
clear them).

The msgbox is to say: "Deleting the text entry "REPORT" results
in ...."

Help is much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Regards, Andreas

Right click the tab at the bottom of the worksheet you want this functionality on, select View Code from the popup menu that appears, then copy/paste the following into the code window that appeared...

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Target.Find("Report", LookIn:=xlValues, _
MatchCase:=False) Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Deleting the text entry ""REPORT"" results in ...."
End If
End Sub

Now fix the message in the MsgBox statement to say what you want. That's it... go back to your worksheet and try to select a cell with only the word "Report" in it (in any letter casing) and the MessageBox should appear.
