Hi
use the selection_change event (event procedures: see:
http://cpearson.com/excel/events.htm). In your case try:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim res
If Intersect(Target, Me.Range("B3")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.EnableEvents = False
res = InputBox("Enter a value")
Target.Value = res
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Put this in your worksheet module (not in a standard module)
