hi all, first time ive been here so please bear with me. the problem
have is that i know nothing about writing macro's (all i know is how t
open VB Editor,lol) i have been given the task of trying to work out
macro for a spreadsheet we use, basically what it needs to do (if i
can be done) is this : we have a coloum that needs to have a 'tick
icon in the cell, however if we can we would like this to happen b
just being able to click on the cell and the icon appears and then i
we click on the same cell the icon will be removed, this same actio
needs to happen on each cell in that coloumn so we can go down to an
cell and put a tick in it just by clicking the box like a checklist.
hope this explains it ok if not then please tell me what info would b
useful and i will try my best. Any advice on how i do this is greatl
appreciated, thanks in advance

Danz,

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
On Error GoTo sub_exit
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1:A100")) Is Nothing Then
With Target
If .Value = "a" Then
.Value = ""
Else
.Value = "a"
.Font.Name = "Marlett"
End If
.Offset(0, 1).Select
End With
End If
sub_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Does exactly what you want, (Currently works on column A), providing you
have 'Wingdings' font installed. It may be better to use a 'double-click'
event as this one is detecting a selection change. If you click twice to
'toggle' the tick on and off, you do not change selection and it does not
fire. To implement this code go to

http://www.nickhodge.co.uk/vba/vbaim....htm#EventCode

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Columns("A:A")) Is Nothing Then
If IsEmpty(Target.Value) Then
With Target
.Font.Name = "Wingdings"
.Value = Chr(252)
End With
Else
Target.Value = ""
End If
End If
End Sub
