i have seen in a speadsheet were when a user clicked on a cell in column "D" it brought up a dialog box that had a text box where you could write notes in. Lets say $D$6 brought up this note box for the item in $C$6. after the user entered these notes in the dialog box about cell C6 then when you clicked ok it was saved in that dialog box. if you clicked on cell $D$7 then the same dialog box pops up, now blank, and you enter the information about item $C$7. If you click back on cell $D$6 the dialog box comes back up with the original information that you entered into it. I dont know how to make one custom dialog box become a specific note holder for the preceding column. I hope i have explained this well enough. Thanks for any help
 

Excel Facts

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
In the VBA Code for Sheet 1

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Set vrange = Range("d1:d500")

For Each cell In Target
If Union(cell, vrange).Address = vrange.Address Then
frmMyComment.Show
End If
Next cell
End Sub

Create a form named: frmMyComment

Code for form:

Private Sub cmdOK_Click()
ActiveCell.ClearComments
If TextBox1 <> "" Then
ActiveCell.AddComment (TextBox1.Text)
End If
Unload Me
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Set x = ActiveCell.Comment

If x Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

TextBox1.Text = ActiveCell.Comment.Text
End Sub
