Hi,
I have created forms/sheet and wish for the person entering the data (filling them out) to fill out ALL the required fields, BEFORE they press the macro button.
Is there something that checks all the required fields before the macros is run.

I've looked up HELP and can't even find a topic that would help, I'm sure this is possible. Thank you for reading, purepaul

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Try this code in the worksheet module:

Option Explicit
Dim Required As Range

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
Select Case Target.Address
Case "$A$5", "$A$10", "$A$15", "$A$20", "$A$25", "$A$30"
Set Required = Target
Case Else
If Not Required Is Nothing Then
If Required = "" Then
Required.Select
MsgBox "You must wnter a value here"
End If
End If
End Select

End Sub
