Run VBA code when double clicking on range of cells

[neuro1]

Hi, I am very new to VBA in Excel and need some help figuring out how to accomplish this. So I have data in A2 to A100 and I want to run the below code when I double-click on the each cell in that range. It should run the same VBA code.

The code below the double click event basically takes the contents of A2 and copies it into a text file on my C:\ drive. I want to update this text file every time I click on a different cell.

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A2:A100")) Is Nothing Then
    
    Dim oShell As Object
    Set oShell = CreateObject("WSCript.Shell")
    Dim myFolder As String
    
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    
    ActiveSheet.Activate
    Range("A2").Select
    Selection.Copy
    
    'This temporarily adds a sheet named "Test."
    Sheets.Add.Name = "Test"
    Sheets("Test").Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste

    'Save selected data as text file in users selected folder.
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="C:\work\imagepo.txt", FileFormat:=xlText, CreateBackup:=False
    
    'Remove temporary sheet.
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
    'Indicate save action.
    MsgBox "Text File: " & myFolder & "Saved!"
    
    'Go to top of sheet.
    Range("A2").Select
    
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    
   Application.Quit
    
    End If
End Sub

Any help would be great!

Your code seems to do just what your said you want it to do. Not clear on what you need to change.

Are you saying that you want to use whatever cell was double-clicked as the update to the text file, rather than always using A2? If so:

Change

    Range("A2").Select
    Selection.Copy

To

    Target.Copy

Also you do not appear to be using oShell anywhere.
