Change if from a worksheet event to a workbook event. Put the code in
Thisworkbook code module and replace

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

with

Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target
As Range)

Look at Find in help for nthe other bit.
