MsgBox Retry button

Hello all,

I'm trying to write a vba MsgBox that will allow the user to re-enter data into a cell if it was entered incorrectly.
If the user enters data then submits it (by moving to another cell, hitting enter, etc.) and it is not typical data a MsgBox pops up. This box has two buttons 'Retry' and 'Cancel'.

Below is a simplification of my code:

Two questions:
1. If the user clicks the 'Retry' button on the MsgBox, how can I go back to the calling cell and back into 'entry' mode. I.E. similar to what would happen if validation were on the cell.
2. Is there a way I could get the data from the cell before the user entered/overwrote new data into it?


Thanks to any with ideas

I not sure how to achieve what you want but this line

undoes the last action of the user before the macro was run, so probably run the Undo then something like

to get going again.

Hi Simon,

Application.Undo is quite handy (I didn't know about that function until now!).
Unfortunately it doesn't solve my problem - anyone else got any ideas?
