    Clear button, add warning dialogue box that asks: Are you sure you want to clear?

    Hello!

    How do I add a feature to my function button that clears away data to submit a warning to the user before it clears any data?

    It can say something like:
    "Are you sure you want to clear all Inventory data?"
    With an option, "Yes" and "Cancel"

    Here is the current code for the "Clear" button:

    Be fore warned, I regularly post drunk. So don't take offence (too much) to what I say.

    The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day...

    If you receive help please give thanks. Click the * in the bottom left hand corner.

    Perhaps it was the Noid who should have avoided me...
    If you are satisfied with my solution click the small star icon on the left. Thanks
    1. Make a copy of your workbook and run the following code on your copy (just in case)
    2. With excel open, press ALT+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor (VBE). From the "Insert" menu, select "Module".
    3. Paste the code from above into the empty white space. Close the VBE.
    4. From the developer tab, choose "Macros", select the Sub Name, and click "Run".

    Thanks.... but when I click "Cancel"
    It still clears away the data.

    I hope you did not use the first code I posted? I was lazy and left out an import line of code, plus I just realized I had a typo(it is too late here) Try mine or AlvaroSiza's code they will both do the job.

    Re: Clear button, add warning dialogue box that asks: Are you sure you want to clear?

    I tried this code, and I'm not sure what I'm doing... it seems not to be the entire code, so I try to integrate it with mine, but I don't know how. Could you please give me the entire code including the important parts of the original code... so that all I need to do is replace my existing code with a proper and complete code.

    This is what I have:

    All it does is display the message box. But regardless of my response to the box Yes/No... it does nothing else. But it needs to clear the field if I answer "Yes." And leave the field alone when I answer "No." It doesn't do that... please help me get the final code right....

    The vbRepsonse (right before = MsgBox) is misspelled. Fix the spelling to vbResponse (sorry about that) and it will work.

    Thanks! Yes now it works.... and here is the correct code for others:

    It is designed to clear the cells ("C7:E91"), but of course anyone can edit this to whatever they want cleared.
