You said:

If my approach is okay, I guess I'll have to use the worksheet_changed
event
and use 'Target' to search for the cells that have been changed. Right?

In your approach, I don't see any role for Target or the change event.

But Target will lose its reference every time a new event is triggered,
right?

I want users to be able to play around with the values in the worksheet,
and
then click the WRITE VALUES button to update the appropriate files with
all
of the values that changed since they were added to the sheet.

This would make it really easy for me to add a "REVERT" button, too. (It
would work even if people saved the file as a work-in-progress.)

Target will hold a reference to the cell that changed/was edited that

I'm writing an Excel (vba) utility for a project at work and I could
use
some advice on my approach.

I have a folder with 100 .wav files. Each file has a corresponding
text-based script file with variables in it. Like this:

max_simultaneous_samples = 2;
min_playback_rate = 0.9;
max_playback_rate = 1.1;

I wrote a utility that allows users to add variable names as column
headings. When they click on a READ VALUES button my tool fills the
first
column with the appropriate filenames, and then it searches through
the
files and extracts the variables. The output looks like this:

FILENAME max_simultaneous_samples min_playback_rate
max_playback_rate
thunk.txt 2
0.9 1.1
clap.txt 2
0.8 1.2
gunshot.txt 2
0.7 1.2


I want users to be able to change those values, and then I want to
write
the
changed values back to the appropriate files. My current plan is that
when
I fill worksheet 1 with the values above, I'll add the same values to
the
same cells in worksheet 2. That way I can tell which values are the
same
and which have been changed. (I'll probably change the font color of
any
value that is different from the initial values. That way people will
have
a visual indication of their changes before they click the WRITE
VALUES
button.)

Is there a better/easier way to do this?

If my approach is okay, I guess I'll have to use the worksheet_changed
event
and use 'Target' to search for the cells that have been changed.
Right?

Thanks in advance.
