Is there a way to not allow them to highlight more then one field and delete them. I have not found a way yet to opnly allow them to select one cell at a time.

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
Something like this, maybe?

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Count > 1 Then
    MsgBox "Only one cell may be selected at any time.", vbExclamation
    Target.Cells(1).Select
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True

End Sub
