Default Click cell to activate macro

I want to run a macro when the user clicks in a specific cell. In a
personal worksheet I put a button on the page and tied a macro to the
button. In that case there was only one button. In the present case, the
macro needs to do different things depending on what row is clicked.
Because someone else will be maintaining the workbook and because the data
will change frequently (with rows being added and deleted), I don't want to
put a button in each row.

My macro will determine its row, pull data from the same row in another
worksheet, and display the data in a text box. I tried using a hyperlink
from the source page to the data page, but the user didn't like that.

I'm pretty sure I can get the macro to figure out the row of the cell that
was clicked, so I really need to write only one macro. Is there a way I can
fire a macro when a user clicks in a cell?

BTW, I thought about having the user select a cell and then use the menus to
launch the macro, but the user wants something simpler.

Thanks,
Bob
