I have code written to insert a blank comment into the active cell. I was hoping there is a way to manipulate it to have the comment contain text from another cell. Here is what I have.

Sub CommentAddOrEdit()

Dim cmt As Comment
Set cmt = ActiveCell.Comment
If cmt Is Nothing Then
Set cmt = ActiveCell.AddComment
cmt.Text Text:=""
End If
cmt.Visible = True
cmt.Shape.Select
End Sub

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
What cell do you want to get the text from?

Ok, how about
VBA Code:
Sub CommentAddOrEdit()

Dim cmt As Comment
Set cmt = ActiveCell.Comment
If cmt Is Nothing Then
   Set cmt = ActiveCell.AddComment
   cmt.Text Range("C7").Value
End If
cmt.Visible = True
cmt.Shape.Select
End Sub
