Default Workbook_SheetSelectionChange in an Addin

You addin has to instantiate Application Level events. Chip Pearson shows
you how at
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/appevent.apsx

you would then use the application level version of the event you speak of.
it will pass in a reference to the sheet that triggered the event

Private Sub object_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As
Excel.Range)

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help me out. I've been trying to create an
addin for all our spreadsheets to create an audit trail writing each cell
change to a database, however, when I override the
Workbook_SheetSelectionChange procedure in the addin module, a cell change
never invokes the commands within the procedure.

It seems that the only Workbook_SheetSelectionChange code that it will
invoke is from ThisWorkbook or local code. Is it possible to create an addin
that will trigger an insert to a database with every cell change?

Thanks in advance,
Ryan
