Try your code this way...

If Cells(5, 2) = 1 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
MsgBox "Fires ok"
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If

Hi, I'm trying to get some code to fire, based on a formula in cell E2
changing value to equal 1.

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
If Cells(5, 2) = 1 Then MsgBox "Fires ok"
'Application.EnableEvents = False
End Sub

I can get it to work properly on a blank spreadsheet. However I need to
use it on a worksheet that already has a Worksheet Change code. Since it
seems like each worksheet can only have one module (page? not sure of the
right name) for code, the above code is in the same module as the Change
code.

Thus, when the entry is made that changes E2 to equal 1, it starts in the
above code, then jumps to the Change code and begins running some of that
code. If I EnableEvents=False it stops the straying, but still doesn't
bring up the MsgBox.

Any help would be appreciated.
