I have the code listed below which is being called when a cell changes from 'no' to 'yes'. When the message box pops up and I click 'no', the message box chimes and displays again and I have to click it twice to get it to go away. I am running Excel 2007. What is causing this to do this? This macro is located in a worksheet code window and not a global workbook module. It needs to be there due to the fact that the code that monitors the change from 'no' to 'yes' is also in this sheet code window. Thanks for any ideas as I am at a loos on where to go from here.

Sub MSTS_Update()

Application.EnableEvents = False

i = MsgBox("Do you want to update the Master Stability Tracking Sheet?", vbYesNo + vbExclamation + vbDefaultButton2)

If i = 7 Then 'NO
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub

ElseIf i = 6 Then 'YES
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'rest of macro here

End If
Application.EnableEvents = True

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
How is that code being triggered?

Is MSTS a control of some sort?

It is triggered with the code below. When the value in cell BE7 changes from no to yes it launches the macro.

-----------------------
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()

If Range("BE7").Value = "YES" Then Call MSTS_Update

End Sub

Here is the macro called:

Code:
Sub MSTS_Update()

Application.EnableEvents = False

i = MsgBox("Do you want to update the Master Stability Tracking Sheet?", vbYesNo + vbExclamation + vbDefaultButton2)

If i = 7 Then 'NO
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub

ElseIf i = 6 Then 'YES
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'rest of macro here

End If
Application.EnableEvents = True

End Sub

So the code is trigggered whenever the worksheet is calculated?

Is that definitely what you want to do?

I would like the code to be triggered whenever the cell BE7 is changed not the whole worksheet.

Is that cell changed by formula or manual entry?

If it was a formula then you would probably use the Calculate event but if it's manually then you would normally use the Change event.
