For some reason this did not work. It works fine on an independent
worksheet with standalone code, but not when entered as a separate
procedure below the Worksheet_Change procedure. It still jumps up into
that other code, and does not bring up the msgbox.

Thanks for any further thoughts you may have.

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.
