Message box before another macro

Q55 is a True/False based on a date entered in another cell.

Basically, if that date is after today, then Q55 is false and the macro
completes. Conversely, if Q55 is True, then I want the Message Box to
display.

Thanks.

That code is looking at the activesheet.

Are you sure that's the one you wanted?

maybe adding:

msgbox range("q55").text

would help you debug the problem.

It is the activesheet that I want.

Where would I add msgbox range("Q55").text?

right before the if statement.

You'd be using it just to help debug the problem.

msgbox range("q55").text
if range("q55").value = True then
.....

Neat trick I didn't know. Somehow the value in Q55 got corrupted.
Thanks for the tip. Of course, now I've jumped a hurdle into a snake
pit.

I'm sure you'll see another post from me soon.

I have mod'ed your code as indicated (red). My small test worked:
_________________________________
Sub Look_Here1()

If Range("Q55") = True Then 'no quotes

MsgBox "Check Driver's License Expiration Date", 48, "ExpiredDriver's License"

Else

Dim FoundCell As Variant
Dim teststr As String 'for testing only
Dim WhatFor As Variant
WhatFor = ActiveSheet.Cells(7, 2).Value

With Worksheets(1).Range("B8:B990")

Set FoundCell = .Find(WhatFor, LookIn:=xlValues, MatchCase:=False)

End With

'note: with the word "testing" in B33, FoundCell held the value "testing" after the find operation, and not the address itself.
teststr = FoundCell.Address 'used to test only (teststr = $B$33, now)
If FoundCell Is Nothing Then

Range("A7").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "X"
Range("D7").Select

Else

FoundCell.Offset(0, -1).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "X"
Selection.Offset(0, 4).Select

End If

End If

End Sub
