Default How can I click on a cell and enter a default value?

You could use a double-click event instead.

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal _
Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
If Target.Address = "$E$2" Then Target = 234
Cancel = True
End Sub

One last question. How can i do this so that only a click will insert the
desired input. Now whenever i tab past the field the value goes into it.
