Well, what I can't figure out is that deleting the contents of just
one selected cell does NOT cause an error.  BTW, it is 'Error 13'
(Type mismatch).  I implemented your suggestions, still getting the
error; here is the code:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)

   Application.EnableEvents = False

   If Target.Column = 7 And Not IsEmpty(Target.Value) And Not
IsNull(Target.Value) Then
       Target.Value = UCase(Target.Value)
   End If

   Application.EnableEvents = True

End Sub

How can I set it back on w/o restarting Excel?
