    VBA to Create Signature on Worksheet

    Greetings,

    Background: The Accounting Manager at my job has 3 workbooks with about 24 worksheets on each workbook. He wants to keep only these three workbooks, but has an accounting team working on different sheets in each workbook. He would like a signature in each worksheet recording the person's name, a timestamp indicating when they completed the project, and (preferably) protecting the worksheet so he will know to review the worksheet. Basically he wants the signature line aspects of a workbook, but for a worksheet instead of a workbook. I mentioned the idea of separating the worksheets into separate workbooks, but he doesn't want to do this as it is hard enough for him to track the 3 workbooks.


    Questions:

    1. Does anyone know of a way to add the signature line feature of excel to a worksheet instead of the whole workbook?
    2. If not and I need to start from scratch, would this be easiest to do using UserForms? If so, do you have any suggestions on how to proceed from here?

    Thanks in Advance!

    .
    Would having a 'tracker sheet' work ?

    - This sheet is hidden

    - The sheet tracks the Date / Time / Specific Cell Edited / User Computer Name Doing The Edit / What Edit Was Performed


    ???

    Thanks for the thought. The manager already uses Microsoft Projects for tracking purposes, so he doesn’t want a second tracking sheet. He just wants something simple on the actually sheet that captures the data mentioned in the OP (signature of user, timestamp, and sheet protected with a simple password so those on team will know to leave it alone until reviewed).

    Re: VBA to Create Signature on Worksheet

    Hello again,

    So here is what I have so far. I am certainly open to any suggestions or improvements,
    as I am new to VBA and don't really know what I am doing.

    1. My Main Issue: I couldn't figure out how to make a userform, so I went with pasting contents into empty excel rows that are in a column very far right of all accounting content each month. Using cells for the data that could erase content from the accounting document concerns me even though they don't come near the cells with their calculations. But I worry about the longterm Integrity of what I have built. If someone knows how I could paste what I have directly into a textbox without creating the text in a cell first, I would appreciate suggestions.

    2. Less Important: My second issue is I can't figure out how to delete only the textboxes and the text I have made so it doesn't appear in the next month workbook they create from this workbook. I figured out a way to delete all textboxes and I of course can delete all text, but I only want to delete the textboxes and text that I create with my macros and leave the accounting work intact. Obviously if I can avoid using text in cells as listed in my main issue, that solves the text issue. Any help on how to delete specific textboxes is appreciated. (But again, part one is my main concern).

    What I have so far:

    Formula I am using to post all three rows of cell text into one textbox: =DZ23&CHAR(9)&CHAR(10)&DZ24&CHAR(10)&DZ25


    I have created a macro with a shortcut key that combines all three of the macros above into a simple press of ctrl + shift + S for ease of use.


    Thanks for any thoughts, and I really appreciated that some folks even took the time to respond and try to assist regardless of outcome.
