Here is my code on Sheet1 (Checkbook Ledger). However, per my code below, in range "B2:B1000" If "B2" is "Credit Card" I get the correct pop up - If "B3" is "License" then I get the correct popup. However after that "B4:B1000" I get the pop up associated with "License" regardless of the keyword inputted. Therefore, I only want the msgbox associated with the keyword (ex: "License" or "Credit Card") to pop up with associated msgbox. If neither of the keywords are found, I don't want any pop up to show. Also, I may find an additional keyword in range "B2:B1000" that I would like to have another pop up msgbox. What am I missing in the code to make it do what I want. Thanks for taking a look and if you need additional info, let me know.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Target.Column = 2 Then Exit Sub
If Not Range("B2:B1000").Find(What:="License", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=True) Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Separate The Cost Of The Tag And The Cost Of The Property Tax - Then Create A Separate Entry For The Property Tax"
Exit Sub
End If
If Not Target.Column = 2 Then Exit Sub
If Not Range("B2:B1000").Find(What:="Credit Card", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=True) Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Separate The Cost Of Each Item - Create Separate Entries For House, Gas, Food, Vacation"
Exit Sub
End If

End Sub

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
I think the problem with your code as it stands is that it is looking for those words every time there is a change in the range B2:B1000 - therefore, if you add "License" in a cell and don't change it afterwards your code will exit after it finds the (existing) "License" in the range. I suspect that you wanted the message boxes to run after the newly entered text was assessed only? If that is the case, try the following code instead:
Option Compare Text
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.Cells.CountLarge = 1 And Not Intersect(Range("B2:B1000"), Target) Is Nothing Then
    Application.EnableEvents = False
      If Target = "License" Then MsgBox "Separate The Cost Of The Tag And The Cost Of The Property Tax - Then Create A Separate Entry For The Property Tax"
      If Target = "Credit Card" Then MsgBox "Separate The Cost Of Each Item - Create Separate Entries For House, Gas, Food, Vacation"
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    End If
End Sub
