Hi
I have a simple UserForm. It has 2 textboxes (myname, myage) and 2 option buttons (male, female) and 1 control button (enterme) . Please see the code below.

What I want to add is to give a user a message, if the user forget to enter Name, age, and sex and hit Enter button. So I came with the following idea to fix the issue if the user did not enter name

Code:
If myname.Value = "" Then
        MsgBox "enter name"
    End If

How you would do that? is that good programming style? Thank you.

Code:
Private Sub enterme_Click()
    Dim x As Double
    x = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
    If myname.Value = "" Then
        MsgBox "enter name"
    End If
    Cells(x + 1, 1).Value = myname.Value
    Cells(x + 1, 2).Value = myage.Value
    If male.Value = True Then
        Cells(x + 1, 3).Value = "male"
    ElseIf female.Value = True Then
        Cells(x + 1, 3).Value = "female"
    End If
End Sub

Excel Facts

Repeat Last Command
Pressing F4 adds dollar signs when editing a formula. When not editing, F4 repeats last command.
Not sure about programming style but you probably want to add an Exit Sub to exit the Click procedure if the user hasn't entered a name.
Code:
    If myname.Value = "" Then
        MsgBox "enter name"
        Exit Sub
    End If

If you wanted for force the user to enter and choose all the values you want
Try this:
Code:
Private Sub enterme_Click()
    'Modified  11/28/2018  6:45:19 PM  EST
    Dim x As Double
    x = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
    If myname.Value = "" Then MsgBox "I'm going to stop the script till you enter a name": Exit Sub
    If Myage.Value = "" Then MsgBox "I'm going to stop the script till you enter an age": Exit Sub
    If Male.Value = False And Female.Value = False Then MsgBox "I'm going to stop the script till you choose Male or Female": Exit Sub
    Cells(x + 1, 1).Value = myname.Value
    Cells(x + 1, 2).Value = Myage.Value
    If Male.Value = True Then
        Cells(x + 1, 3).Value = "male"
    ElseIf Female.Value = True Then
        Cells(x + 1, 3).Value = "female"
    End If
    Male.Value = False
    Female.Value = False
    myname.Value = ""
    Myage.Value = ""
End Sub
