Where are you adding the comments? In a cell?
</div>


<div>
To a cell I suppose. &nbsp;I'm guessing it needs a place to be stored right?
</div>


<div>
How do you plan to use these comments?
</div>


<div>
Just for reference. &nbsp;For each excel sheet I wanted a userform to add comments.

Here is code you can use to add a comment to a cell.<br />
<br />

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-20-42072667-1"><span>Dim strComment As String</span>
<span></span>
<span>    If Range(&quot;A1&quot;).Comment Is Nothing Then</span>
<span>        strComment = InputBox(&quot;Please enter the text of your comment&quot;, &quot;Add Comment&quot;)</span>
<span>        If StrPtr(strComment) = 0 Or strComment = &quot;&quot; Then</span>
<span>            ' User pressed Escape or left comment blank</span>
<span>            Exit Sub</span>
<span>        End If</span>
<span>        Range(&quot;A1&quot;).AddComment strComment</span>
<span>    End If</span>

<div>
Do I add this to a command button?
</div>


<div>
This is great...thank you. &nbsp;Can this be done on a userform? &nbsp; At times there will be a lot of information being entered.
</div>


<div>
Can what be done on a userform? Do you mean store the comment in the userform itself? If so the answer is no.
</div>


<div>
I was afraid of that......That was my goal. &nbsp;I do appreciate your help!
</div>


<div>
You're welcome and I'm glad I was able to help.<br />

USERFORM TO ADD COMMENTS IN EXCEL DISAPPEARS

Microsoft Office is an integrated suite of applications that includes Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, Visio and InfoPath, along with a number of tools to assist in making the individual components work together. Coding within and between the projects is done in Visual Basic for Applications, known as VBA.

Microsoft Office

Microsoft Excel topics include formulas, formatting, VBA macros and user-defined functions, and everything else related to the spreadsheet user interface, including error messages.

Microsoft Excel

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
