Onevent action when data entered in colum A

Posted by keithkemble on February 12, 2002 12:58 PM

I have written a macro which is meant to activate when data is entereed into a blank cell in colum A.

This fuction when activated will run the routine , even if I click with the mouse on the cell.

I have followed examples but to no avail.
Can anyone help in ensuring the macro will NOT activate until the enter key is pressed?

Thanks

Hi--

Dont like the sound of if mouse in cell activate or if data input.. you need to decide one or the other as mouse select will be first so thats all your get. Maybe this will help..

Select and col A cell and press enter NOTHING
Seect any Col A cell and type JACK and press enter
Turns cell green.. Replace with you code.
