When my worksheet (ws_gui1) is first opened, the only cells available to be changed by user is D2, E2 or F2. The "true purposeful" ranges subject to change by the user, rng_role and rng_sstart, are not yet defined becaue they do not exist. They are created later on in the process (module: STAFF1 - this creates the dataset for which the ranges are applied) after they accept the values (via a submit button) of D2, E2 and F2. Now, this immediately caused an error when the u ser changed either of the values in D2, E2, or F2. The worksheet change event code was triggered, but since rng_role and rng_sstart weren't defined yet, those lines threw errors ("Invalid procedure call or argument") when the worksheet change event was triggered. It avoid these errors, I had to set up useless and interim ranges for rng_role and rng_sstart. They have no use for their actual purpose later on. These ranges will be created for their practical needs as the code advances.

Now without errors, and the user's changes of D2, E2 or F2 accepted, the user presses submit and the code moves forward an eventually the module STAFF1 is launched. This module builds a dynamic dataset on the active worksheet (ws_gui1) in an area roughly bound by AZ4:BE48 (depends on the amount of data).

Note, variuable rng_role, rng_sstart and rng_send are publically declared as part of the worksheet opening code.

The lines highlighted in blue are where the ranges are created. They represent data in three columns of the "Staff On Duty" section for which the user can change. The change events are highlighted in blue in the worksheet change code (if not intersect (target,)). The cells in rng_role are validated with data validation rules.

Another range, rng_offduty, is also created to allow manipulation of off duty staff related data by the user. However, to edit the data in this range requires a doubleclick event to be triggered.

With this module completed, the protected worksheet is made available for the user to manipulate at their will within the available unlocked ranges (rng_role, rng_sstart, rng_send, rng_offduty). mbevents which I use to control whether events are triggered is =true, and application.enableevents=true, thus allowing worksheet change and doubleclick events.

I am experiencing two problems:

1) When the user changes the value in one of the cells defined in rng_role nothing happens. The worksheet change is not being triggered when the value changes. Could it be that the changed cell is being recognized as being in rng_role because rng_role isn't set up properly? I am out of ideas as to why this change isn't being recognized.

2) when I double click on a cell within rng_offduty expecting the worksheet doubleclick event to trigger for that range, I get my message "Nothing to see here" - the default message for a double click on a cell that has nothing to edit. It should trigger the event code for access of that range.

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
'Stop
    Cancel = True
    Dim rng_permit As Range, rng_cdata As Range
   
    With ws_gui1
        If page = 2 Then 'executes only with a date specified page, not the ActiveNet Page
            'MsgBox Target.Address
            'MsgBox Target.Row
            'MsgBox Target.Column
'
            Set tgt = Target
            'MsgBox tgt
            tgt_r = Target.Row
            tgt_c = Target.Column
            Set rng_permit = .Range("C6:C" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row)
            Set rng_cdata = .Range("AP4:AP" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, "AP").End(xlUp).Row)
            'Set rng_sname = .Range("BA4:BA" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, "BA").End(xlUp).Row)
            'Set rng_sstart = .Range("BD4:BD" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, "BD").End(xlUp).Row)
            'Set rng_send = .Range("BE4:BE" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, "BE").End(xlUp).Row)
            'Set rng_asgmt = .Range("AM4:AM" & .Cells(.Rows.Count, "AM").End(xlUp).Row)
           
            If Not Intersect(Target, rng_permit) Is Nothing Then 'doubleclick in permit range
                MsgBox "Permit range - Row: " & tgt_r
                sel_permit
            ElseIf Not Intersect(Target, rng_cdata) Is Nothing Then 'doubleclick in coredata stats range
                MsgBox "Core Data - Row: " & tgt_r
                sel_coredata
            ElseIf Not Intersect(Target, rng_offduty) Is Nothing Then 'doubleclick in assignment start
                MsgBox "Assignment Start - Row: " & tgt_r & Chr(13) & "Extend booking data"
                Stop
            Else
                MsgBox "Nothing to see here."
            End If
        End If
        'Cancel = False
    End With
End Sub

Any help with either of these two issue, or better yet both, would be so greatly appreciated. I anticipate the solutions will be simple. I always find the more I prepare a question, the easier the solution. Thank you all in advance!
 

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
For problem 1, I realize now that the range are being reset to the initial default values everytime the worksheet changes. I need these lines to prevent errors when the user makes initial changes to the worksheet, but they should not be reset once they have been properly created.

Any workaround?
