Before double click event with if statements (Double clicking blank cell stops bdc firing)

Hi guys,

I've got a double click event which I'm having issues with...

Background:
I have a worksheet which displays sets of data based on values that have been selected from either of 2 combo boxes (Responsible and Reports to). I then have code which allows the user to double click on certain cells (which contain the name of a Responsible person / the person they are reporting to) which will then display the other set of data based on the range that is double clicked.

I.e. if a responsible persons data is shown and you double click on the person they are reporting to's name then it will take you to their teams data and vice versa

It is set up so that it recognizes which set of data is being displayed and whether you have selected a valid range/name

The problem is that when you double click a blank cell (say by accident) and then select a valid cell with a name in it which would normally run the beforedoubleclick event it doesn't trigger.

I've included my code below and would really appreciate some help!

Thanks for the advice guys, Do you understand what I posted originally?

If you double click a blank cell (accidentally for instance) the beforedoubleclick event stops working when you try to press on an actual name in a correct range.

Could you suggest anything?

Ah my apologies, I didn't realise that would solve my problem!

Feeling very silly now, thank you
