Hi Matt,
Take a look at event macros

David -
I like the concept, but I don't think this will work the way I want to
deploy it.
I would like the menu items to be available for this spreadsheet only and to
not require any users to run the script that will add the menu items.
Essentially, I have a spreadsheet that calculates values based on
information in cells A, B & C. Those are the only cells that are not locked
and the rest of the cells are protected. When a user right-clicks on (for
example) cell A3, the user will receive only the options to insert or delete.
Each of those options is linked to a macro that will unprotect the sheet,
run the appropriate steps, and reprotect the sheet.
On a separate note: Do you know a function that can fill a cell with a
formula based on the cells location?
Details (using a simplified formula):
E5 =if(B5<0,C5*D5,"")
If the selected cell is anywhere on row 120, I want the macro to fill in
cell E120 with =if(B120<0,C120*D120,""). I prefer not to use E5 as the
reference in case the row is deleted.

see Right Click Menus (Context Menus) in Excel

You would need to use worksheet deactivate and worksheet activate
instead of workbook close and open for changes to the menu.
some additional help with event macros

Kind of think it is overkill, and that application.inputbox
would have served the purpose

I would like to add a feature where a popup box appears when a user
right-mouse clicks on any cell in the range a1:a20. Two options should be
available when the right mouse button is depressed within that range. Option
1 will launch one macro and Option 2 will launch another.
