Testing if a cell is within a range
 

Hello all,

Is it possible to test if the active cell is within a certain range?

I have a short list of categories, A36:A47, that I have given the range the name "CategoriesList". In the
"Worksheet_SelectionChange" event, I want to test to see if the new active cell is within the CategoriesList range and if it is, set
another cell on the worksheet to the same value as the active cell.

If it is possible, please provide sample code.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide,

Try this...

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A36:A47")) Is Nothing Then
MsgBox Target.Address
End If
End Sub
