Excel Facts

Highlight Duplicates
Home, Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cells, Duplicate records, OK to add pink formatting to any duplicates in selected range.
If I understand you...comment out these lines

LastName = InputBox("What is your last name?")
If LastName <> "" Then
FullName = FirstName & " " & LastName
Else
bCompliant = False
End If

Thanks that worked! I'm having another different issue..

In the above script, MsgBox "This workbook is being closed because you didn't enter your name." The workbook actually doesn't close when I click cancel in the msgbox. I want the script to close the workbook when cancel is clicked. With the current script it just deactivates the entire script when I click cancel in the MsgBox.

Change these lines

MsgBox "This workbook is being closed because you didn't enter your name."
ThisWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False


to

ans =MsgBox ("This workbook is being closed because you didn't enter your name.",vbQuestion + vbOKCancel)
If ans = vbOK then ThisWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=True

You need to reset the macro under the Run button to take you out of error mode

Actually I'm getting ''Compile error: Variable not defined'' and then on clicking ok I get '' Can't execute code in break mode''

It should be FirstName in the line below
Rich (BB code):
FirstlName = InputBox("What is your first name?")
