Default Where to place code that changes a cell value?

George, if you want to put 5 in the sheet every time you click on it try
this

Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Range("M5").Value = 5
End Sub

To put in this macro, from your workbook right-click the workbook's icon and
pick View Code. This icon is to the left of the "File" menu this will open
the VBA editor, in Project Explorer double click on thisworkbook, under your
workbook name, if you don't see it press CTRL + r to open the Project
Explorer, then, then paste the code in the window that opens on the right
hand side, press Alt and Q to close this window and go back to your
workbook, now this will run every time you open the workbook. If you are
using excel 2000 or newer you may have to change the macro security
settings to get the macro to run. To change the security settings go to
tools, macro, security, security level and set it to medium

Good day,

I would like to know where to place my code, since placeing it in the

module
section produces an error. The code is seen below. I need this code to
execute for the "current displayed" worksheet, but I do not believe that I
should copy it to ecery sheet, thats why I tried it in the modules.

Where should I put it to only have 1 location for the code?

Range("M5").Value = 5

I appreciate your help.

Kind regards
George
