Sorry, I'm new to VBA. I have a spreadsheet that consists of columns with drop-down menus. I want to put in some mandatory fields (before close) to ensure these fields are completed. I want to give them as much info as to why there’s an error and where it is. I have a code, but it only works on what is entered in the first row of entry (row 3).

So if Row 3 says “New record”, it will require the mandatory field for New records to be completed, but if Row 4 says “New opportunity” it will still require the mandatory for New Record to be completed etc. It ignores what is entered in the rows below Row 3. I will need to put in a couple more mandatories for other fields in the spreadsheet once I get this one working. The code is

VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)

Call sMacro1

Call sMacro2

Call sMacro3

End Sub



Private Sub sMacro1()

Dim dataWS As Worksheet

Dim ckRange As Range

Dim anyCell As Range

Dim currentRow As Long

Dim whatCol As String

Dim errMessage As String



Set dataWS = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("CREATION OF NEW CLIENTS & OPPS")

Set ckRange = dataWS.Range("B4:" & _

dataWS.Range("B" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Address)

For Each anyCell In ckRange

If Range("B4").Value = "New Record" Then

currentRow = anyCell.Row

whatCol = "A"

If IsEmpty(dataWS.Range(whatCol & currentRow)) Then

errMessage = "Misssing your name, this is a mandatory field for the creation of a New Record "

GoTo ExitWithoutSaving

End If

whatCol = "C"

If IsEmpty(dataWS.Range(whatCol & currentRow)) Then

errMessage = "Missing Record type, this is a mandatory field for the creation of a New Record "

GoTo ExitWithoutSaving

End If

whatCol = "E"

If IsEmpty(dataWS.Range(whatCol & currentRow)) Then

errMessage = "Missing Record Name, this is a mandatory field for the creation of a New Record "

GoTo ExitWithoutSaving

End If

whatCol = "I"

If IsEmpty(dataWS.Range(whatCol & currentRow)) Then

errMessage = "Missing Country details, this is a mandatory field for the creation of a New Record "

End If

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
