Macro to confirm that a drop down selection has been made

**prontrad** · 05-31-2010, 08:13 AM

Hi,
We have a user form in processing sales orders, consisting of 4 drop down lists to categorise the sale.
Sometimes a list selection is inadvertently missed, and the previous order's selection
remains, leading to errors in the processing.
I would like to create a fail safe system, whereby the user is warned that a selection has not been made, for example, by an adjacent cell displaying a message "input required", and the message changes to "" (that is, a blank cell), once a selection has been made.
How could I make an If statement for the adjacent cell, based on a selection being made from the drop down list ?

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook.

If needed supply a before and after sheet in the workbook so the person helping you can see what you are trying to achieve.

Doing this will ensure you get the result you need!
