Unless your user is a 5yr old.. they should be able to select only ONE cell.. maby a 15min Training session or something would work.. |

Well, I prefur safe to sorry. I'm running a macro and its tends to spaz if
you try to delete multiple cells at one time. Since I'm having trouble getting to fix it I thought it might be simpler to just remove that ability.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
On Error goto ErrHandler Application.EnableEvents = False Target(1).Select SaveValue = Target(1).Value ErrHandler: Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Kiba" wrote: Well, I prefur safe to sorry.

A couple of things... This code needs to be placed in the sheet itself (right
click the tab and select View Code and paste the code in the code window.) The posted code will always select the upper left hand cell. If you would prefer the following code will select the active cell which I found my users prefered (personal preference). ***Note that this only makes a difference if you have users that select ranges of cells right to left instead of left to right. Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) On Error GoTo ErrHandler Application.EnableEvents = False ActiveCell.Select ErrHandler: Application.EnableEvents = True End Sub Finally (and this is for Tom) what is the significance of your Variable "SaveValue" which you don't use? -- HTH...

You have an alternative approach at your other thread.

Hi Kiba ! :)
You need to write an event procedure as follows. Private Sub Selection change() If Instr(1,selection.address,":") 0 then Msgbox "Selection not valid !! Endif End sub This procedure displays an error message if a range larger than 1 cell is selected. I hope you are able to adapt it ( use the idea ) for your specific need. Good luck !
