Hi-
If ActiveCell.Offset(0, :cool:.Value = Text Then
MsgBox "It works"
End If

Im trying to see if a cell located 8 cells to the left of a list has any text in it, and if it does to display a msgbox. My code does not work, any ideas??

Try this:<pre>
If Application.WorksheetFunction.IsText _
(ActiveCell.Offset(0, 8).Value) = True Then
MsgBox "It works"
End If</pre>

Regards,

Barrie- One follow up, Using this idea of a code:


If Application.WorksheetFunction.IsText _
(ActiveCell.Offset(0, :cool:.Value) = True Then
TextBox1.Text in Range("an:an")).Delete
End If

Im trying to delete a name in row "AN" with the name in textbox1. Inother words when activecell.offset(0, :cool: lists a value, then I want the name located in row "AN" (listed in textbox1) to delete!
Thanks
