Hello All,
Thank for for helping all those who are in need!

I created a macro where it looks at the all required fields and then emails to approver. I have the same command button to trigger email function from requester to approver to final user.
My issue is I need approved message box only to show up for approver and it puts "Approved by (approver name automatically)" as there could be 5 approvers.

Here are the steps:
1. Form is being initiated by user. Macro looks at all required fields are filled and good to go
2. Form will be received by approver via email
3. Person in step # 2 needs to have message box appear with approved/rejected
4. If approved, needs "Approved by John Smith" at a certain cell
5. Form will be emailed to final user

I am layman VBA user. I create my macros using forums. I may find macro below cumbersome but I am not an expert so please excuse me...
Here is my current macro:

I need the bold stuff only to appear for approver and not for initiator
Thanks

Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Set Sndr = Cells(49, 4)
    Set rcvr = Cells(54, 4)

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Do you know the windows usernames of the authorizers? If so, ENVIRON("username") returns the windows username - use it in an IF statement like this:

Code:
If ENVIRON("username") = "abcd" Then
    Dim ApprRejQues As String
   
    ApprRejQues = MsgBox("If Approved Then Select Yes If Not Approved Select No", vbYesNo, "POF Approval")
   
         If ApprRejQues = vbYes Then
               Range("D51").Value = "APPROVED " & ENVIRON("username") & " " & Format(Now(), "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss")
         Else
               Range("D51").Value = "REJECTED " & ENVIRON("username") & " " & Format(Now(), "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss")
         End If
End If

This bit of macro will now only be run for username abcd. You can use OR in the formula to build a list of multiple authorizers.
