Pausing the program...

[efarach]

I would like to direct, by way of a MsgBox, the user to select a pull-down cell and obtain a selection and then continue the program operation. How and what VBE coding will accomplish this?

Create a userform. End one macro with calling the userform. When they enter their input, call a new macro which passes the input from the userform as an argument.

Another approach: When you run this macro, it will prompt the user to make a selection. When you click "OK", you have 3 seconds to make a selection and then the macro will display a message box with "OK". Change the '3' to the number of seconds you want to allow and replace the line of code that displays "OK" with your code.

Sub x()
    Dim WaitTime As Date
    MsgBox "Make a selection in the drop down list."
    WaitTime = Now() + TimeValue("00:00:03")
    While Now() < WaitTime
        DoEvents
    Wend
    MsgBox "OK"
End Sub
