message box

[swec74]

I have been given a code to make a msg box pop up on opening the work book,
but is there any way to have that msg box pop up on a certain sheet insted of
it poping up when the work book opens?

thanks for any help given.
regards
Stuart

You could use the Sheet_Activate() event, like so

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
MsgBox "Activated " & Me.Name
End Sub

To implement, check here:

right click sheet tab>view code>copy this>SAVE

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
MsgBox "I popped up"
End Sub

Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code"

Paste these lines in that module.

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
''your pop-up message code goes here
End Sub

Delete the code from the module it presently resides in.

There are probably more elegant methods, but........

Copy/paste this to the worksheet.

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
If Range("A1").Value = "phnorton" Then Exit Sub
MsgBox "hoohah"
Range("A1").Value = "phnorton"
End Sub


Now copy/paste this to the ThisWorkbook Module

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").ClearContents
End Sub


Adjust range, sheetname and value to suit.
