I have some simple code that is causing me to pull out my hair.
All it does is check to see if the value in cell "AK" & i (i being equeal to the active cell row, =1. This part is working, if the value is = to 1 then the msg box pops up, allowing me to choose, Yes or No. I have told it if
vbYes then put the text "yes" in a cell. The problem is that if, I click yes, it does nothing, and yes or no msg box will not go away. If I click no, then it puts "yes" in the cell I requested and the msg box goes away. I can click the Yes button forever, but it will not go away. It is like it is stuck in a loop or something. Any help would be appreciated. I have also tried putting different values into the cell, ex: other text or numbers.

Thanks

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

i = ActiveCell.Row

If Range("AK" & i) = 1 Then

Dim myLabel

myLabel = MsgBox("Do you need a BARCODE LABEL", vbYesNo)

If myLabel = vbYes Then
Range("AL" & i) = "yes"

End If

End If


End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
When the code enter "yes" to the cell, another execution of Change event will heppen.
Therefore, your code will go endless circular execution of code...
try the code
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim i As Long, myLabel As Integer
i = Target.Row

If Range("AK" & i) = 1 Then   
     myLabel = MsgBox("Do you need a BARCODE LABEL", vbYesNo)
       If myLabel = 6 Then
           Application.EnableEvents = False
           Range("AL" & i) = "yes"
           Application.EnableEvents = True
       End If
End If
 
 
End Sub

Try this code:

'----------Code Begins Here--------------------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Not Intersect(Target, Range("AK:AK")) Is Nothing Then
Cancel = False 'Do nothing
i = ActiveCell.Row
Dim myLabel
If Range("AK" & i) = 1 Then
myLabel = MsgBox("Do you need a BARCODE LABEL", vbYesNo)
If myLabel = vbYes Then
Range("AL" & i) = "yes"
End If
End If
End If

End Sub
'----------Code Ends Here----------------------------------


Have a great day,

What does the line of

Cancel = False ?

Cancel is defined nowhere...
