Default Click cell to activate macro

Correction.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
With Target
Select Case .Row
Case 5: 'do something
Case 9: 'do something else
'etc.
End Select
End With

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

I want to run a macro when the user clicks in a specific cell. In a
personal worksheet I put a button on the page and tied a macro to the
button. In that case there was only one button. In the present case, the
macro needs to do different things depending on what row is clicked.
Because someone else will be maintaining the workbook and because the data
will change frequently (with rows being added and deleted), I don't want

to
put a button in each row.

My macro will determine its row, pull data from the same row in another
worksheet, and display the data in a text box. I tried using a hyperlink
from the source page to the data page, but the user didn't like that.

I'm pretty sure I can get the macro to figure out the row of the cell that
was clicked, so I really need to write only one macro. Is there a way I

can
fire a macro when a user clicks in a cell?

BTW, I thought about having the user select a cell and then use the menus

to
launch the macro, but the user wants something simpler.

Thanks,
Bob
