sub procedure

We have a workbook with multiple worksheets. I have written a procedure
which checks for data outside of a specified range on the worksheet.

Is it possible to have this procedure run automatically whenever a user
activates a new worksheet in the workbook? I realize that the procedure can
be tied to a key combination, or command button, but that requires input from
the user. For this application we need to automate the process.

Thanks,

Jim

From workbook press Alt+F11 to launch VBE (Visual Basic Editor). From the
left treeview search for the workbook name and click on + to expand it.
Within that you should see the following

VBAProject(Your_Filename)
Microsoft Excel Objects
Sheet1(Sheet1)
Sheet2(Sheet2)
Sheet3(Sheet3)
This Workbook

Double click 'This WorkBook' and check out the drop downs for the below event

Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
'call your procedure here
End Sub

If this post helps click Yes

Thank you for your reply, however this event is not shown in the drop down
box. The events begin with AcceptLabelsInFormulas. Is it possible that I
may be looking in the incorrect drop down box?
