Default Is there a way to know when a worksheet has been clicked?

John,

Put this into a module or event module
ActiveSheet.EnableSelection = xlUnlockedCells
or
Sheets("mysheet").EnableSelection = xlUnlockedCells
this way the user can't select a protected cell.

Since clicking a cell selects it, maybe you could use the

SelectionChange event. However, that
will be triggered when the user moves the cell cursor with the keyboard.

Thank you

I forgot to say that the worksheet is protected and selection is
disabled. I want to avoid the ugly worksheet protection message, "The
cell or chart you are trying to change is protected and therefore read
only. To modify a protected cell or chart blah blah blah ..." that
pops up when a user tries to type on a protected worksheet
