I am in the middle of writing a macro that runs on any change to a specific
cell containing a validation list.

I tested that it worked with each bit of extra code that I added, and it
worked fine for a while, but then it started to crash Excel and I cant find
out what caused it.

And even more peculiar, if I start writing from scratch, the event is no
longer triggered by changing the cell by the Validation list.

I have attached the offending code, in case there is something there that
has altered a setting within Excel that I am not aware of.
If I create a Change Event in a new workbook it works with the Validation
List, so cant be the fact that I have Excel 2002.

Thanks for any help that you can give

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False

If Target.Address = Range("PF_ContractType").Address Then
Select Case Target.Value
Case "Fixed Price"
'Multiplier Label Change
With Range("PF_MultiplierLabel")
.Value = "Labour Revenue Multiplier on Bare"
.Font.Bold = True
.Font.ColorIndex = 0
.Font.Italic = False
End With
'Remove Equivalent Multiplier Formula
With Range("PF_Multiplier")
.Value = Null
.Locked = False
End With

Case "Time Charge"
'Multiplier Label Change
With Range("PF_MultiplierLabel")
.Value = "Equivalent Labour Revenue Multiplier on Bare"
.Font.Bold = False
.Font.ColorIndex = 48
.Font.Italic = True
End With
'Add In Equivalent Multiplier Formula
With Range("PF_Multiplier")
.Formula =
"=IF(SUM(PF_BareLabour,(PF_ContractLabour/PF_BurdenMultiplier))=0,,PF_TotalLabour_Rev/SUM(PF_BareLabour,(PF_ContractLabour/PF_BurdenMultiplier)))"
.Locked = True
End With
Case Else
'Nothing
End Select
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

If you enter that formula manually, does it work?

As far as the event not firing, I suspect you have an error in your code, so
when the event end prematurely, events are disabled.

Thanks for the quick response.

The Formula works fine if entered manually, as that was where I created it
initially. Its just that under certain conditions the formula isnt
appropriate.
Although it was when I tested that the macro would correctly insert the
formula that the event last fired using a validation list

I initially did think that it was because the code ended prematurely with
the events off, but I have run a macro to turn them back on, and it still
doesnt fire on a change using a validation list, but will on anything entered
manually.

I have also done some further testing, and it seems that the problem is
confined to just the one sheet in the book.
I have added some change events to another sheet in the workbook, and they
fire properly when using a Validation list.

I presume I have inadvertently changed a property of the worksheet, but I
cant find it anywhere.

Thanks for any further help that you can give.

Try running Rob Bovey's code cleaner utility on your workbook. It is a free
download at

http://www.appspro.com

If that doesn't fix it, then it might be time to think about replacing the
sheet as a minimum or moving everything to a new workbook.

Kris.

Worksheet_change event doesn't work correctly if you change value from
drop down list.
It works if you type value manually.
It' s a bug in excel since I even don't rememeber and nobody wants to
fix it.

I ran the code cleaner, and it didn't help.

So resorted to making a copy of the problem sheet, and discovered that it
relates to the Conditional Formatting that I had applied to range with the
formula.
Once I deleted the Conditional Formatting from the original sheet, the
change event started running again with the validation list.

I dont understand why it should make a difference, unless the UDF I have is
incorrect.
Function IsFormula(Cell)
Application.Volatile
IsFormula = Cell.HasFormula
End Function

But for now I will just use code to change the format.

Thanks for all your help
