    Userform Comment box popup

    Hi, apologies if I'm posting an already existing topic but I did a quick search and couldn't find anything similar so....

    What I need to do is this...

    I have a holiday / visit planner and would like to add some functionality so the user can double click on a particular cell (corresponding to a date) and a userform text box will open up to enable him / her to enter some comments. Once done the user can click an OK button which transfers the text into the cell comments area.

    I have the worksheet protected so the users cannot enter comments with the usual 'insert comment' method.

    any ideas? thanks!

    Hi Roy,

    Thanks for the reply! Works great except for a couple of little niggles.

    I just realised I forgot to mention in my original post that the 'date' cells all contain formulas so they are not blank. This poses a problem when the comments popup is cancelled and the cell is left in edit mode with the user free to edit the formula. Not good where my users are concerned

    Also, the comments box and indicator only appear after OK is clicked when the worksheet is unprotected. Any way this can be modified to show up when worksheet protection is on?

    Lastly, is it possible to specify the size of the text as it appears in the box once ok'd? The default size is a bit small as the spreadsheet is zoomed out to accommodate as much info as possible.

    Thanks for your help I really appreciate it!
