mark,

I cleaned it up a little...
'-------------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error GoTo NoChange
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("C14:C23")) Is Nothing Then
If Target.Offset(0, -1).Value = "" Then Target.Offset(0, -1).Value = "1"
End If
NoChange:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

why isn't this assigning the value (i'm tired, it's late, and i'm just
missing the obvious... blah, blah, blah)

If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("c14:c23")) Is Nothing Then 'Exit Sub
With Target
If Target.Offset(0, -1).Value = "" Then
Range(Target.Offset(0, -1)).Value = "1"
End If
End With
End If
