macro on "mouse down" in graph?

I hope my explaination of what I'm trying to do is clear enough that
someone smarter than I am can help me...

I have a worksheet that has 3 columns. Col 1 is a sorted fractional part
of the day (essentially "time"), Col 2 has the results of an experiment at
the that time, Col 3 is "quality flag". There is a graph of Col 1 vs Col
2. By looking at the graph, I can tell which are the bad points and which
are the good points, but I can't, mathematically tell which is which (it's
the classic "I can't define it, but I know it when I see it" problem).

My idea is to somehow define a "mouse down" macro in the graph. The macro
would need to get the Col 1 value of the point, turn that into a row in
the worksheet and set the Col 3 value in that row to 0. I can handle the
"find the right row and set col 3 to 0" part assuming I have the col 1
value, but I'm not sure how to handle the "I clicked on a point in a graph
and here are the coordinates" part of the problem, or even if it's
possible,

Any help?

Thanks!
Bruce

Stephen,

Thanks! I've just printed out the article and have started to read it.
It looks *very* interesting...
