    Insert Symbol on Cell Double click

    Hello

    i want to be able to create a sheet that goes around for approval and i want to be able to have Managers double click into a cell and the Wingdings 0252 sybbol (Check Mark) appears and if they double click again it goes away.

    The problem i am having is that they are not using the same aproval method each time and this way it is easy, and if it is not done, then i am looking for the same thing each time to prevent the sheet from closing.

    Thanks

    How about this:

    To prevent future problems you may want to incorporate it in a specific range that way people arent accidentally double clicking a range that has valuable data in it and that gets wiped out.

    This is more of what i meant:

    Where the range D1:D10 is the only range that the double click applies to. This of course can be edited to meet your needs. Let me know if this helps.

    I use it a lot and I have a method (simple), I think. Maybe it's useful to someone.
    I set the font face to MARLETT in columns where used check mark. Because "a" is equivalent to a check mark.

    With Double Click put check mark and Right Click delete it.

    Note. I am a beginner in VBA (very beginner).
