Check box error

K

I have a check box, and want an error box to flash up if someone trie
to check it IF a certain other cell is blank. (otherwise they can chec
it no problem).

I thought I knew how to do this using validation, but it doesn't see
to work. Does anyone know how to do this please?

Thanks,
Paul

If you mean by Data, Validation that only works for directly entering data
in a cell. You'd have to write a macro to do what you want and assign it to
the checkbox. The exact procedure depends on which toolbar the check box
came from (Forms or Control Toolbox).
