Default Help required with VBA program to automatically enter data from a validation list.

Can somone please help me with this program.

I enter Tool Descriptions in Column 3 in my spreadsheet by selection from a
DropDown Validation list.
I also have various combinations of the tools which I select from the list
as Kit1, Kit2 ..........etc.


When a Kit is selected from the drop down validation list I would like my
VBA program to populate the column with the individual tools which make up
the Kit.



Can someone tell me why my VBA program below requires two extra clicks to do
this after selecting a Kit from the drop down validation list..



Assuming the current cell is C10

I select a kit from the validation list the description (Eg. Kit1) appears
in cell C10 as Kit1 and not the individual tools that make up the Kit1.
I have to click on the empty cell C11 below and then again on cell C10
(Kit1)and only then will it populate the cells with the tools correctly.
How do I get the cells populated automatically as required without having to
click twice as described above?


I use a case statement for the different kits which calls the relevant sub
programs as follows:


Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(By Val Target as range
Dim CodeRow As Interger
Dim CodeCol As Interger
Dim Count As Interger


Select Case Target.Value
Case "Kit 1"
Call Kit1
Case"Kit 2"
Call Kit2
Case Else
End Select
End Sub


I then have Private Sub Programs for each Case. (Kit)
The Tool Descriptions are located in a Table in Column 10


Example for Kit1.


Private Sub Kit1()
Dim ToolDescription
Dim ContentsRow As Integer
Dim ContentsCol as Integer


ContentsCol = 10
CodeCol = 3
CodeRow = ActiveCell.Row (Where the Tool Description is to be
entered)


Contents Row = 19 (First Tool Description for
Kit1 is located in the table in Col10 Row 19)
ToolDescription = Cells(ContentsRow,ContentsCol).Value
Cells(CodeRow,CodeCol).Value = ToolDescription
CodeRow = CodeRow + 1 (Increments to next Row)


Contents Row = 20
ToolDescription = Cells(ContentsRow,ContentsCol).Value
Cells(CodeRow,CodeCol).Value = ItemDescription
CodeRow = CodeRow + 1


Contents Row = 21
ItemDescription = Cells(ContentsRow,ContentsCol).Value
Cells(CodeRow,CodeCol).Value = ToolDescription
CodeRow = CodeRow + 1


End Sub


Thanks for the anticipated help.
Syd
