if the target cell is later selected by click (not a doubleclick), will the
user then be able to double click within the active cell to edit the
contents (i would want them to be able to)?

Mark,

You have to test the Target variable to determine if it is in the
range for which you want to disable double-click. For example,
the following code will disable double-click function in the
range A1:B10, and leave it to normal behavior in all other cells.

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, _
Cancel As Boolean)
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range("A1:B10")) Is Nothing
Then
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub

in a beforeDoubleClick procedure, i set the cancel arguement to
true which
solves some wierd select/reselect problems that i was having;

however, when the user selects another cell, i want them to be
able to use a
double click to initiate in-cell editing; however the
beforeDoubleClick
procedure disabled it...

how (when the user selects a different cell that the double
click target) do
i get it back on?
