    Worksheet_Selection Change problem

    Hi folks,

    I wrote this code which allows me to:
    -- enter the DATE, then have the DESIGNATION column fill in automatically.
    -- enter the CHARGE amount and have the CREDITS column fill in $0.00, giving me the option to
    overwrite it if there is an actual credit to be posted.

    I would like to run the "Clear_NONFOODS" macro w/o having zero's replaced everywhere,
    and to be able to Right Click and Clear Contents w/o the having the same problem.
    I'm wondering if there is a better way to achieve this?

    Is it possible to also have DESIGNATION columns clear if the TARGET cell is cleared?
    (This column will be hidden . It is used primarily for sorting when combined with other sheets on to a TOTALS page)

    Re: Worksheet_Selection Change problem

    Would a Select Case Statement be more appropriate in this instance?

    Like so:

    The EnableEvents function controls OTHER macros triggering. Turning it off lets it run its code without other macros triggering on there own, which is what is happening.

    Put

    as the last line. This will stop the Worksheet_Change code from running.

    Huron & JBeaucaire: Adding the App Events for the Clear_NONFOODS Macro worked - Thanks.

    Huron & JBeaucaire: Your codes work except when I right click and clear selected rows. Then I get an Error #13 Mismatch at this line:

    JBeaucaire,

    The error is no more but an odd thing happens; if I right click and Clear Contents, the code no longer works.

    I have to close the file and reopen it in order for it to function once again.

    Re: Worksheet_Selection Change problem

    Let's see your complete code again. Perhaps you're turning off Events, then Exiting the Sub without turning it back on again.

    Doesn't seem to be.
    Very odd...

    Re: Worksheet_Selection Change problem

    Yep, that's exactly what you did. You turn off events in line 6, then put my Exit Sub (quick quit) in row 9 without turning events back on. Oops. If those events occur in that sequence, you've turned of all macros for good.

    In post 10, I indicated to put that quit at the top, not line 10. Move it to line 2 and that will offer the quick quit before we've even done anything else.
