You mean an actual message box? If so, right click the sheet tab
where you want this to take place and select View Code. Then paste
something like this:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("A4").Text > 50 Then _
MsgBox "New Record!!!"
End Sub

You can use data validation to display a message. There are instructions
in Excel's Help, and here:

JW, that worked perfectly. But how can I change the 50 to something else
without getting a compilr error?
Thanks
