The problem with the hyperlink not firing the worksheet_activate was fixed in a
later version of excel (broken in xl2k, but works in xl2002, IIRC).

I'm not sure if that affected the web toolbar, though.

Is there any reliable way to detect when user switches worksheets?

My VBA needs to react when a user switches worksheets, and I have a set of
event catchers (Workbook_SheetSelectionChange, Worksheet_SelectionChange,
WorkSheet_Activate, WorkSheet_Deactivate) which I thought was foolproof.
Whether user switched sheets via my hyperlinks, used sheet tabs, or used the
Web toolbar, I got one of these events to trigger.

But user can start on sheet1, use Edit/GoTo to get to Sheet2, click an
option button, use Edit/GoTo to get back to sheet1, click a button all
without triggerring an event. I can trap more events with the option
buttons, but isn't there an easier way?
