Excel 2007 : Is a pop up, editable text box possible?

**rriiser** · 05-18-2011, 07:11 AM

Hi, I wonder if you may be able to help me -

I would like a pop up text box (similar to data > data validation > input message) to appear when you click on a cell, but then I want the user to be able to edit it by clicking on the box (rather than going into data validation again...)

So not like a comment as you have to right click to view/edit, I want it to be quicker...

I am very new to VBA, but don't mind having a go (the best I have got to so far is my own warning box!)

Hope you can help,

Many thanks.

Did you ever figure this out? I need the same thing.

Thanks!
