Could someone help me with this code please?
From a d-click in Sheet1 I want to display a Comment that's in a different worksheet.
Its location is SheetAC Col Jxxx. xxx is "The RowNumber" below.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
    Cancel = True
    Dim sh As Worksheet, p As String, TheRowNumber As Integer
    p = Cells(Target.Row, Target.Column)
    'get the Row Number in AC Sheet containing p
    TheRowNumber = FindRow(p, "AC")
    Set sh = Worksheets("AC")
    sh.Range("J" & TheRowNumber).Comment.Visible = True
End Sub

That doesn't seem to do anything. When corrected, would I see the popup comment (with Sheet1 active) or would I need sheet AC active?

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Yes, you need to activate the AC sheet to see the pop-up comment on it.

Code:
    sh.Activate
An alternative to showing the comment pop-up and activating the sheet is to display the comment in a message box:
Code:
MsgBox Worksheets("AC").Range("J" & TheRowNumber).Comment.Text
