Either you want the event to run or not. If you have written the event stub
when the event is triggered your event code will run. If the event will be
called by your myCell.Select in another procedure, as suggested, temporarily
disable events. Ensure there is an error handler such that events will
definitely get re-enabled. Another approach, and possibly a safer one, is to
do something like this -

Public gbExit as boolean ' in a normal module

sub MyProc()

on error goto errH
gbExit = True
'code

done:
gbExit = false
Exit Sub
errH:
resume done
end sub

in the event code
If gbExit then Exit sub

when running code, its very rare that the ranges affected need to be
selected. Certainly switching off the events as suggested is one way, but
changing the code to my mind is "better" since its faster and prevents the
selection change event firing - unless you need the specific cell
selected?

The code below causes UserForm2 to display when I select a cell within
the range. Is there any way in the datesort module to prevent UserForm2
from displaying?



Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)

If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range("C5:V700")) Is Nothing Then
UserForm2.Show

End Sub
