How can I click on a cell and enter a default value?
 

I would like to be able to click on a cell and have a value automatically
entered. I would like this to work like a forms control checkbox. Or is my
only answer use the control checkbox?

How can I click on a cell and enter a default value?
 

Try using

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$E$2" Then Target = 234
End Sub

Right click the sheet tabview codecopy/paste this.
Now when you select cell E2 the number 234 will appear in that cell.

Thanks Don. One more question. If I put an "X"instead of a number it
doesn't insert anything.

One last question. How can i do this so that only a click will insert the
desired input. Now whenever i tab past the field the value goes into it.

You could use a double-click event instead.

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal _
Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
If Target.Address = "$E$2" Then Target = 234
Cancel = True
End Sub
