Auto Change sheet value

[Brian Matlack]

Hi again!
Apparently selecting a date from a data validation list does not trigger a Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range).

How can I accomplish this? I would like for the code to run when the user selects the new date from the data validation list.

I could just put a button for the user to click after changing the date but I wanted to ask anyway.

Thanks!!

This problem was fixed in xl2k (xl97 still suffers from the problem).

How about putting a button near the cell with data|validation that will invoke
the macro.

Or dump the data|validation completely and use either a dropdown from the Forms
toolbar or a combobox from the Control toolbox toolbar.

Thanks Dave!!
I have a workbook that I create and keep examples in and this code does not work in it.

However! When I put the code into my users workbook it works fine.????

I must have a problem in the Example workbook. There are 30 or 40 code examples in it and maybe one of them sets a criterion that fowls-up this one. I'll keep looking!

Thanks again for your time and help!!!

Are all the workbooks running the same version of excel--if yes, what version?

And when you're snooping, make sure you look to see that you enableevents after
you've disabled them.
