Click or double click a cell to open a specified user form with VBA code

Follow these steps to enable clicking or double-clicking a cell to open a specified user form in Excel.

1. Open the worksheet with the cells you want to click or double click to open a user form.

2. Right-click the sheet tab and then click View Code from the context menu. See screenshot:

3. In the opening Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window, please copy and paste the following VBA code into the code window.

VBA code: Click a cell to open a specified user form in Excel:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
'Updateby20171226
    If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range("A1:B9")) Is Nothing Then
        UserForm1.Show
    End If
End Sub

VBA code: Double click a cell to open a specified user form in Excel:

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
'Updateby20171226
    If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range("A1:B9")) Is Nothing Then
        Cancel = True
        UserForm1.Show
    End If
End Sub

Note: In the code, A1:B9 is the cell range you will open user form based on. And UserForm1 is the name of the user form you will open by clicking or double-clicking cells. Please change it based on your need.

4. Press the Alt + Q keys to close the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.

From now on, when you click or double-click any cell in the specified range, the designated user form will open immediately, as shown in the screenshot below.
