This example uses the BeforeSave event to verify that certain cells contain data before the workbook can be saved. The workbook cannot be saved until there is data in each of the following cells: D5, D7, D9, D11, D13, and D15.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeSave(ByVal SaveAsUI As Boolean, Cancel As Boolean)
'If the six specified cells do not contain data, then display a message box with an error
'and cancel the attempt to save.
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("D5,D7,D9,D11,D13, D15")) < 6 Then
MsgBox "Workbook will not be saved unless" & vbCrLf & _
"All required fields have been filled in!"
