I tried to explain as simple and completely in this title.
I have this and it is hard coded in the vb Workbook Open event code window
Code:
If Day(Now) = 8 Then
   MsgBox "See if anyone on MrExcel can help"
Else
End if
All this does is display a predefined Msgbox text string on a predefined day. Ii'd like to be able to
specify the text and date to display from a userform externally, that would
CREATE the code lines for the Msgbox, the text, and the date to display.in the Workbook Open event code window
In other words, do exactly the same thing as above, but Input it from an Input box or userform.

Thanks if anyone can help. Is this asking too much of Excel?

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
So your saying you already have a UserForm Open and when you Open another Workbook you want a Message Box to Popup if a Textbox on the Userform specifies a certain date. Is that what you want?

If not be more specific.

Not exactly. The whole operation is within one workbook. Here is what I did so far:
I created a a sheet called DATA. This sheet accepts values from a userform(MSGINPUT) from a DTPIcker1 value for the date and Textbox1 for the message the MsgBox is to display. The following code is in the Enter button on the userform
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim d As Date
Dim d1 As Date
Dim t As String
Dim s As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
d = Date
d1 = MSGINPUT.DTPicker1.Value
t = ComboBox1.Value
s = MSGINPUT.TextBox1.Value
Sheets("DATA").Select
Set ws = ActiveSheet
For Each cell In ws.Columns(1).Cells
     If IsEmpty(cell) = True Then cell.Select: Exit For
Next cell
ActiveCell.Value = d1
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = t
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Value = s
This code just puts the new values from DTPIcker1.value in the first blank cell in col A and Textbox1.value
in col C. Col B is left blank for now until I figure out how to tell Excel to read a time value on that day(d1) and
display the MsgBox with the new textbox1 value on that same day(d1).

In the Worksheet Open event I have
Code:
Dim d As Date
Dim t As String
d = Date
Dim rgFound As Range
Set rgFound = Range("DATES").FIND(What:=d, LookIn:=xlValues)
If rgFound Then
  t = rgFound.Offset(0, 1).Value
  s = rgFound.Offset(0, 2).Value
  MsgBox "Today Is" & "  " & d & "  " & s

All this works great to a point - just displaying the MsgBox when the workbook opens. What I want is
not to display it immediately, but at any later time that same day I specify from the MSGINPUT userform(which hasd a combobox with time values as text.

I hope this is clear. Any help would be greatly appreciated

thx, cr
