    byval target as range

    How do I make a sub run when a specific cell is selected, as opposed to running any time a cell is changed? Is it possible also to make a subroutine run when I press "Enter"?

    Thank you

    Use the Selection Change event handler as opposed to the Change event handler.

    I suspect pressing Enter would be considered a change ... but maybe not. Have you tried it?

    Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

    End Sub

    ^ That is what I would normally do. What I mean is, what if I want the sub to run when I select, say, cell A3?
