Hi All,
At the moment I am working on how to track any change on cells by using comments.
I got this code for track the change on a sheet

Code:
'Track/Report User Changes on 1 Particular Worksheet. _
 The code below must be placed in the Private Module of the Worksheet you would like changes tracked and logged.


Dim vOldVal    'Must be at top of module
Dim x As String


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim bBold As Boolean


If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub


On Error Resume Next
With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = False
    .EnableEvents = False
End With


If IsEmpty(vOldVal) Then vOldVal = "Empty Cell"
bBold = Target.HasFormula
With ActiveSheet
    Dim a As String
    Dim y As String
    Dim z As String
    z = ActiveCell.Value
    'x = GetSetting("LastComment", "Variables", "x")
    'x = Application.InputBox("Enter text", "Enter Comment", x)
    'SaveSetting "LastComment", "Variables", "x", x
'MsgBox x 'for testing
    With Range(x)
        If .Comment Is Nothing Then
            .AddComment.Text Text:=Application.UserName & vbLf & _
                    "CELL CHANGED " & Range(x).Address & ", OLD VALUE " & _
                    vOldVal & ", NEW VALUE " & Range(x).Value & _
                    ", DATE\TIME OF CHANGE " & Now()
        Else
            a = .Comment.Text
            .Comment.Delete
            .AddComment.Text Text:=a & vbLf & Application.UserName & vbLf & _
                    "CELL CHANGED " & Range(x).Address & ", OLD VALUE " & _
                    vOldVal & ", NEW VALUE " & Range(x).Value & _
                    ", DATE\TIME OF CHANGE " & Now()
        End If
        .Comment.Shape.TextFrame.AutoSize = True
    End With


    '.Cells.Columns.AutoFit
    '.Protect Password:="Secret"
End With
vOldVal = vbNullString
With Application
    .ScreenUpdating = True
    .EnableEvents = True
End With


On Error GoTo 0
End Sub


Public Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
vOldVal = Target
x = ActiveCell.Address
End Sub

As of now I put this code on every sheet code to track the change on every sheet.


My question is:
Is there a way so this code is only once written and it will work for all sheets in a workbook?
I just tried to put the code in "ThisWorkbook" code but I knew that there are some modification need to be done to get it work and I need help on this part.
Thank you in advanced.


Regards,
Benny
