Warning Macro

[MCheru]

I want to modify this macro so that before it runs, a message box will pop up
and ask are you sure you want to delete? and then have two options yes and
no. If the operator clicks yes the contents will delete. If the operator
clicks no the contents will not be deleted. I know how to get a message box
to come up MsgBox "your message here", but I am not sure how to give it
options. Here is the macro I have now.

Sub ClearContentsMacro Macro ()
Application.Goto Reference:="R7C2"
Range("B7:H116").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Selection.ClearContents
Range("B22").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("B33").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("B7").Select
End Sub

You can do something like this

Dim Verify as VBMsgBoxResult

Verify = Msgbox("Do you want to delete?",vbyesno)

if vbyes then
'Delete whatever you want to delete
end if

if vbyes then

will always be true. Use

if Verify = vbyes then

Thank you. You're code is great. I am having one problem. Perhaps I made a
mistake. Here is the code I am using.

Sub ClearContentsMacro()

Dim Verify As VbMsgBoxResult

Verify = MsgBox("Do you want to delete?", vbYesNo)

If Verify = vbYes Then

End If
Application.Goto Reference:="R7C2"
Range("B7:H116").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Selection.ClearContents
Range("B22").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("B33").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("B7").Select

End Sub


.......The challenge I am having is that even when I click No all the cells
are still getting deleted.

Sub ClearContentsMacro()

Dim Verify As VbMsgBoxResult

Verify = MsgBox("Do you want to delete?", vbYesNo)

If Verify = vbYes Then
Application.Goto Reference:="R7C2"
Range("B7:H116").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Selection.ClearContents
Range("B22").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("B33").Select
Selection.ClearContents
Range("B7").Select
End If

End Sub

You could avoid the .select's with something like:

Sub ClearContentsMacro2()

Dim Verify As Long 'VbMsgBoxResult doesn't work in earlier versions

Verify = MsgBox("Do you want to delete?", vbYesNo)

If Verify = vbYes Then
Range("B7:H116").ClearContents
Range("B22").ClearContents
Range("B33").ClearContents
'Range("B7").Select 'did you really want to select B7
End If

End Sub

And you could even boil those 3 range().clearcontents to just one:

If Verify = vbYes Then
Range("B7:H116,B2:d3").ClearContents
End If
