Dan,

"Target" is the range object that is set to the newly selected range - from
the (ByVal Target As Excel.Range) part of the declaration line.

Usually, you can do something like this to avoid multiple cell selections,
as the first line of code within your event:

If Target.Cell.Count 1 Then Exit Sub

Then simply use Target.Value in your Select Case

I am programming code to run whenever the user changes
cells within an excel spreadsheet. How can I have the
code check to see what cell the user just selected, assign
this to a variable, then run a select case statement on
that variable?

Here's where I am so far:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As
Excel.Range)
Dim CurrentRange As Range

'CurrentRange = ********This is where I need help,
assigning the variable**********

Select Case CurrentRange
Case... 'do stuff depending on which cell is selected
Case... '
End Select
End Sub

Any help is much appreciated.
