was wondering if the is a way to program access so that if someone changes the cell by a drop down list to the word "Updated" then a message box appears?

If working directly with table, then maybe with a data macro.
Otherwise, use After Update event of combobox on form.
Access has fields, not cells.
How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.
And end users shouldn't be entering data directly into the Table. So, in a Form
Code:Private Sub ComboboxName_AfterUpdate() If Me.ComboboxName = "Updated" Then MsgBox "Whatever message you want goes here" End If End Sub
Replacing ComboboxName with the actual name of your Combobox Control.

The problem with making anything foolproof...is that fools are so darn ingenious!
