Hello, I have figured out the VBA formula to change cell color when double click, right click etc... however, i only want it to this on a specific section of the worksheet and not the whole worksheet. Here is what i entered in the VBA

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
Target.Interior.Color = vbYellow
End Sub
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeRightClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
Cancel = True
Target.Interior.Color = Cancel = False
Target.Interior.Color = vbGreen
End Sub

What do i need to do to get it to only do this in the range of a43 to e44?

Thank you for your help.

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
mmdmalta,

You might consider the following...

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A43:E44")) Is Nothing Then
    Cancel = True
    Target.Interior.Color = vbYellow
End If
End Sub
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeRightClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A43:E44")) Is Nothing Then
    Cancel = True
    Target.Interior.Color = Cancel = False
    Target.Interior.Color = vbGreen
End If
End Sub

Cheers,

Try:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
 If Intersect(Target, [A43:E44]) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
 Cancel = True
 Target.Interior.Color = vbYellow
End Sub
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeRightClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
 If Intersect(Target, [A43:E44]) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
 Cancel = True
 Target.Interior.Color = vbGreen
End Sub
