Default How to I return the position of a selected cell in a range?

Hi all,

I am trying to create a routine in VBA using which I should be able to
do the following:

- Lets say I have 10 column headers
- They have long descripotions (e.g. "Time spent on.....") but a short
header name (e.g. TM1).
- The descriptions in the corresponding columns in a different row
(hidden)

I was to be able to display a comment with the appropriate text
whenever the user clicks on a header cell.

I am half way there. Code attached: What I can't figure out is how to
return the position of the cell that the user selects so that I can
refer to the right text for the comment. Any help is highly
appreciated.

Code-

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim newtext$
Dim Addr$
Dim RangeToCheck As Range
Dim RangeComment As Range
Dim isect As Range
Dim intRow As Integer
Dim intCol As Integer

If Target.Cells.Count 1 Then
Exit Sub

Set RangeToCheck = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Rep Data").Range("headers")
RangeComment = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Rep Data").Range("headertext")
Set isect = Application.Intersect(Target, RangeToCheck)

If isect Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Addr = isect.Address
'intCol = isect.Row
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Rep Data").Range("row").Value = Addr
'ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Rep Data").Range("col").Value = intCol

'newtext = RangeComment.(intCol).Value
'isect.Comment.Text newtext
End If
End Sub
