hi all, probably a quick question but i cant figure it out.....

how do you set the focus to a cell if it is single clicked?

here is my situation. I need to be able to single click on a cell and make
it set the focus as if it were double clicked. the criteria is that the
selection.interior.colorindex = 2 and this color is only in one part of my
spreadsheet. any help would be great, thanks

Hi James, your post is a little confusing since a single click on a cell does
set focus to that cell. I don't understand the connection to the
selection.Interiou.ColorIndex = 2, unless you are somehow trying to use a
worksheet change event to change the cell color when clicked.. Maybe you
could explain what you are tryiung to accomplish and we can give some
meaningful suggestions.

ok, when you double click a cell, the cursor blinks and you can type stuff in
this is what i meant by "set focus". I need it to do this when you SINGLE
click a certain column (ie. column that has colorindex of 2). the reason is
because i have merged cells and when copying text into it without double
clicking it wont let you. I just want to get rid of this paste error

I believe that goes beyond the scope of VBA. That gets into the application
design properties. Beyond my expertise if Excel does not provide a user
interface to change the cell activate event.
