    Re: Enter your name here if

    Your code should be pasted into the "This Workbook" module. Is that where you have it?

    Re: Enter your name here if

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.
    Hope that helps.

    You don't specify a sheet to check, if the workbook has a different sheet active when it is opened then that cell on the activesheet will be checked

    Re: unwanted message box

    All the code that I’m am using is not listed, & I did not add that because some of it is opening a file for reference then displaying a message then closing the file, but before opening the file I am setting the worksheet to the "Raw Data" Tab

    and in a macro named "Module_open_File" I have the following code

    Re: unwanted message box

    after I get these working, what I would like to added is, if there is a name entered in cell "D5" I would like the program to announce that This is the person responsible for the data and to communicate to them that you have changed/update some of the data

    Re: unwanted message box

    It doesn't mattere what you set the sheet to the critical line is not checking a specific sheet, or in this case it is even checking the newly opened file. You should run the check part before opening another file

    Re: unwanted message box

    I isolated the code and ran it by its self and still got the extra message
    Where in the code would you put the checking of a specific sheet?

    And I will test moving the code line to the beginning of the code
