Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Welcome to the board....

It's like a circular reference...

You're using the Worksheet_Change Event to make a CHANGE to the sheet, therefor triggering the change event again, over and over...

Disable Events...

Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.ClearContents
MsgBox "You just changed " & Target.Address
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

hope that helps..

Welcome to the Board.

You need to disable events before clearing contents, otherwise the event will continually fire:

Code:
Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Target.ClearContents
    MsgBox "You just changed " & Target.Address
    Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
