hi,
i doubt you can make it work with a merged cell. merged
cells, in my opinion, was not a good idea for micro soft
to add to excel. works ok in word. but in excel, I don't
use them and that is my recomendations to solve your
problem.

hi
I was kindly given this code by Otto Moehrbach, which
works,
However If i select a merged cell the sheet code crashes
the only way i can make the code active again is to close
the workbook
and reopen it.
Can this code be adapted to deal with merged cells and is
it posible
to restrict the number of rows

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target = "" Then Exit Sub
If Target.Column < 4 Or Target.Column 6 Then Exit
Sub
If Target.Column = 4 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Offset(, 1).Resize(, 2).ClearContents
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
If Target.Column = 6 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Offset(, -2).Resize(, 2).ClearContents
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
If Target.Column = 5 Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Offset(, -1).ClearContents
Target.Offset(, 1).ClearContents
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As
Range)
If Target.Column < 4 Or Target.Column 6 Then Exit
Sub
Target = "X"
End Sub

thanks
