dialogue box / pop-up upon opening file - URGENT

Hello:

I'm trying to create a pop-up box that would immediately show upon opening a
file. It would be relatively large (an FAQ on how to use the file) and would
be great if it were formattable.

Ideally, I'd wish to also include a "Don't show this again" option and/or a
means of accessing it at another time via the menu bar (perhaps a drop-down
to the right of Help called FAQ).

Is this possible???? Any help would be **very, very** appreciated....

Thank you!!

Hello Marika1981,

To make a "popup" you need to add a UserForm to your project. You can then call the form when you need it from code and also call it from a menu selection. The form can also be formatted using colors, fonts, and shapes. By placing a textbox on the form with the Multiline property set to true and the ScrollBars property set, you can create a information box the user can scroll through for information. You can also add any other controls you like on the form as well.

Hope this helps you get started,
Leith Ross

Why not just use a worksheet and after the first time, hide the sheet.
