Mouse Icon over Cell Change

[Emoncada]

Hi I have a Range of C2:C200 that I have a BeforeDoubleClick Script. When double clicked in cell It loads up a form with data. The only thing is these cells look normally like every other cell so the user won't know if double clicked it will bring up the form for editing. Is it Possible to say Range C2:C200 Or All C:C to have the "Pointing Finger Cursor" Is that possible.

AFAIK you can't do any "mouse movement" events within Excel - it only works when you actually select a cell.

Of course the obvious question is, why do they look the same? Why not distinguish that range of cells visibly in some way?

You can also use Data Validation to display a message - just set the input message to whatever you want to display, however this also works when you select the cell, not when the mouse moves over it.

Why not using a comment ? "Doubleclick here to see form ..." I believe there exists even a kb-article about showing the comment of a cell at a certain position (pe. A2). So every comment, when you hover over the cell, is displayed at that position.

you CAN DO this, however as the above have indicated, why not just comment or highlight the range that this effects.

If Possible how can I make this happen. Otherwise I will go with the Highlight option.
