I have several sheets within a workbook. How can I create a different "message box" on more than one sheet within my workbook. Below is the message box I created on the initial Sheet:

Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
On Error Resume Next
If Sh.Name = "Sheet1" Then
MsgBox "line1" & vbCrLf & "line2" & vbCrLf & "line3" & vbCrLf & "line4",vbinformation, "Created 02/09/2024
End If
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Welcome to the Board!

Probably best to use a Case statement, structured something like this here, if you want a different message for each sheet:
VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
On Error Resume Next

Select Case Sh.Name
    Case "Sheet1"
        MsgBox "line1" & vbCrLf & "line2" & vbCrLf & "line3" & vbCrLf & "line4", vbInformation, "Created 02/09/2024"
    Case "Sheet2"
        MsgBox ...
    Case "Sheet3"
        MsgBox ...
    ...
End Select
       
End Sub

If the messages are similar and can be programmed, we may be able to simplify it a bit. We would just need to know more details about it.

Thanks so much. I tried for a long time to accomplish this task. This worked great.
