I need to count the character entered in a cell of excel while typing itself(not moving out of the cell). If it reaches a certain amount of data I need to show the message to the user that he has typed these much of words.

I can use VBA for this. It can be possible only if we have key press event of a cell in excel. Any one has tried out this? If yes, please help me out...

Mark this as answer, if it is.....

With regards

I need to show a message to the user while typing itself, if he/she crosses a limit of characters(say 900 characters). How can we do this? Even VBA code is acceptable.
