I have a macro to prevent users from saving a file leaving mandatory fields blank.

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
Cellcontents = Sheets("Form").Range("H12").Value<o:p></o:p>
If Cellcontents = "" Then<o:p></o:p>
Cancel = True<o:p></o:p>
MsgBox "Company Name is empty . Unable to Save!", vbOKOnly, "Check Cells"<o:p></o:p>
Exit Sub<o:p></o:p>
End If<o:p></o:p>
End Sub<o:p></o:p>

The problem is that I cannot save the file with the blank form because the macro prevents me from doing it.

Who is Mr Spreadsheet?
Author John Walkenbach was Mr Spreadsheet until his retirement in June 2019.
If you are just referring to your actually being able to save the modifications you do to the workbook, you just need to enter design mode and the code will no longer execute.
