I have a column with a drop down menu of Yes or No in my table. If a user
selects Yes when entering their data into the table I want a message to pop
up that says please enter Comments. I have a Macro built but how do I
incorporate it into the table or can I? Please help. Thanks in advance.

No, tables are for data storage, not for data entry/edit/viewing
purposes. As such, the functionality is limited. You need a form for
this, and then the macro can be assigned on the After Update event of
the combobox on the form.
