I would like to monitor the position of the mouse in a worksheet and react to
this.

So when the mouse moves an event triggered which reports the x,y position
and if possible the cell under the current location of the mouse. If the x,y
position is recorded I would need to know the x,y limits of the worksheet and
the view limit of the cells on the screen.

I would be grateful for any help given.

Here is some really simple code to sample or set the mouse position:

Declare Function GetCursorPos Lib "user32" _
(lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long


Type POINTAPI
x As Long
y As Long
End Type

Declare Function SetCursorPos Lib "user32" ( _
ByVal x As Long, _
ByVal y As Long _
) As Long
Sub ShowPos()
Dim lRetVal As Long
Dim Pos As POINTAPI
lRetVal = GetCursorPos(Pos)
MsgBox Pos.x & ", " & Pos.y
End Sub

Sub SetPos()
Dim retv As Long
retv = SetCursorPos(67, 139)
End Sub
