I added this to my worksheet (Sheet1 Checkbook Ledger) and it works if I'm inputting the text ("License") into the any cell in the "B" column.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Targe As Range)
If Not Range("B2:B1000").Find(What:="License", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole, MatchCase:=True) Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Two entries needed, one for tag payment and one for taxes."
End If
End Sub

I created a userform with comboboxes that list specific items (ie: "License") and again, the popup works. It also pop up on 5 of my other columns (C, D, E, and F) which is not what I want the pop up to do, I only want it to pop up when "License" is in any cell in column "B." It also pops up 7 times when using the userform before I can "X" it out and close it. That number is exactly the number of comboboxes and textboxes I have in the userform.

Here is a portion of my userform:

With cmbList_Transaction_Specific
.AddItem "Gas"
.AddItem "Transpo-Insur"
.AddItem "License"
.AddItem "Loan"
.AddItem "Transpo-Maint"
.AddItem "Transpo-Taxes"

So, I want any cell in column "B" that gets autofilled buy the userform with the text "LIcense" to give me only 1 pop up msgbox and not have to "X" it out 7 times before it closes or pop up on any other cell that is not in column "B".

Here's a pic of the actual spreadsheet columns.

Thank you for taking the time to review my question.
 

Excel Facts

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Try this
VBA Code:
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 "Two entries needed, one for tag payment and one for taxes."
End If
End Sub

Solution
I found another entry for column 2 that I want to pop up a different msgbox. How would I go about adding other changes in the B2:B1000 range by keyword and popping up a different msgbox. I may find a few others so I'll want multiple changes if possible.

This would include multiple keywords. I may find a few others so I'll want to create multiple changes based on multiple keywords if possible.

Also, how would I add to column 11 (M,N,O,P are merged cells that I use to reference what the payment was for). It would include multiple keywords (example: "Credit Card") and I don't want it to pop up a msgbox, I would rather it input into range M2:M1000 (I assume since it is the first cell of 4 merged cells) that would input something like "Gas", "Food", "House", etc.

And (yeah, getting greedy now), column 6 (my "Paid To") put in a fixed dollar amount into column 5 (my "Amount"). I have a few accounts (example: electricity is balanced budget and is the same cost per month) do I'd want the "Amount" column to reflect the fixed payment amount.

Thanks
