Data Validation Input Message

**ACM2** · 03-05-2010, 01:58 PM

Whenever I create data validation input messages assigned to individual cells, the actual messages which come up (depending on the cell selected) all seem to appear in the same place. If I move the message box for one of the cells, guess what? I click on different cells with input messages assigned to them and they all move to that specific place. This is very frustrating. What can I do?

The message should be attached to the cell,maybe you should attach the workbook

I do attach it to the cell. I just don't know why each data validation input messages assigned to different cells are appearing in the same place. It doesn't make sense.

I asked to see your workbook to get a better understanding of the problem However, posting negative feedback for that leads me to comment that you can solve your own problems.

OK, well one think I have discovered is that it seems to be a problem whenever I start a new workbook. I am currently using Excel 2010 Beta, however it is a problem I noticed with Excel 2007. I'd urge people to try creating input message validation boxes assigned to a few cells to see if the same problem happens. Apparently it is a problem which Microsoft just couldn't be bothered to fix.
