    Post Automatically open a comments box when certain text is entered into a cell

    Hi Guys

    I am very new to this site so hope I am doing this right.

    I am looking to have a comments box open automatically when certain text is selected in a cell. I've tried everything I can think of but no luck. I know it will have to be a macro so can anyone help.

    The word I'm selecting is CBP in the F column and the range of the spreadsheet is A2 to N370.

    Any help will be greatly received.

    You say you are selecting the work CBP in a cell but I have a feeling you may be entering it into a cell. If so this macro won't work. If you are actually selecting a cell with CBP in it then you should be good to go.

    Thank you so much for you quick reply and help. I'm actually selecting CBP from a list in the cell.

    Just as I thought, hence why the macro didn't work. However, it should work if we change he trigger event:
