Automated Popups

Good Day,

I would like a popup screen to come up automatically when a spreadsheet is
open. This popup will provide directions to the users of the spreadsheet. (I
have a second sheet that provides directions but, I would like to emphasize a
couple points. I hope this is a feature within Excel but, I wouldn’t be
surprised if I need to use VBA code to make it happen. Any suggestions,
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brad

It is the MsgBox function within VBA procedures that will help you.
Here is an example of a MSgBox that might work for you.

Take this routine, insert it into into a module in your worksheet. Then
close and open the sheet again. Then change ths message as you need to

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim Msg, Style, Title, Help, Ctxt, Response, MyString
Msg = "This is a reminder only - Don't forget to change the status to
it's appropriate level"
Style = vbOKOnly
Title = "Data Prompt"
Response = MsgBox(Msg, Style, Title)
If Response = vbOK Then
Exit Sub
Else
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
--
thanks

ah
