Code will not fire

[Ray A]

Hi,
I copied this code from Debra Dalgleish's wonderful site contextures.com. It
does not work for me. I placed the code in a module in the workbook. It
should zoom when the active cell has Data Valadation. When I activate a cell
the code will not fire. Any suggestions? Please help.
TIA
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim rngDV As Range
Dim intZoom As Integer
Dim intZoomDV As Integer
intZoom = 100
intZoomDV = 120
Application.EnableEvents = False
On Error Resume Next
Set rngDV = Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeAllValidation)
On Error GoTo errHandler
If rngDV Is Nothing Then GoTo errHandler
If Intersect(Target, rngDV) Is Nothing Then
With ActiveWindow
If .Zoom <> intZoom Then
.Zoom = intZoom
End If
End With
Else
With ActiveWindow
If .Zoom <> intZoomDV Then
.Zoom = intZoomDV
End If
End With
End If
exitHandler:
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
errHandler:
GoTo exitHandler
End Sub

You have to right click on the sheet tab and select view code. Then place
the code in that module.

I'm pretty sure Debra included some instructions...

code for these event handlers must reside in the codemodule of the
worksheet NOT in a standard module.

in VBE's project explorer. doubleclick the sheetname. copy your code
there.

Also in VBE immediate pane, type
?Application.EnableEvents
must return TRUE.

Tom,
I opened the VBA editor and inserted a module then pasted the code. I can
not make the code fire when I activate a cell containing Data Validation. I
suspect I am doing something wrong but I am not sure what. I doubt the code
is flawed. I did have to remove the sheet protection....

did you close excel and then re open it and the workbook. IF not, try that.
There is a possibility you have disabled events.

They can be enabled by running code like

Sub Backon()
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

How high are your security settings set? Could it be that it's auto disabled
because they're set to High??
