Putting a value in a cell by a click

[Latoya]

I would like to place a value in a cell when i click the cell. Like say cell A3 when i click it a X should appear. I'm new to VBA. Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks.

Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
Target.Value = "X"
End Sub

If you're specifically looking for a cell then you could do this:

Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)
If Target = Range("A3") Then
    Target.Value = "X"
End If
End Sub

open a workbook, put this code in a module, run as macro "test1"...should do just what you want...

Sub test1()
'PUTS A EMPTY LABEL OVER CELL A3, SIZED AS A3, LINKED TO SUB test2()
    Dim T1, L1, T2, L2, retVal As Long
    If Range("A3") = "" Then
        Range("A3").Select
            L1 = Selection.Left
            T1 = Selection.Top
        Range("B4").Select
            L2 = Selection.Left
            T2 = Selection.Top
        ActiveSheet.Labels.Add(L1, T1, L2 - L1, T2 - T1).Select
        With Selection
            .Name = "Your Label"
            .Placement = xlMoveAndSize
            .Characters.Text = ""
            .OnAction = "test2"
        End With
        Range("A1").Select
        ActiveCell = "Click on Cell A3"
    End If
End Sub
Sub test2()
    If Range("A3") = "" Then
        Range("A3") = "X"
    Else
        Range("A3") = ""
        retVal = MsgBox("Do you want to delete the label control ?", vbYesNo + vbQuestion)
        If retVal = vbYes Then
            ActiveSheet.Shapes("Your Label").Delete
            Range("A1") = ""
        End If
    End If
End Sub
