Default Move to SELECTED Cells

I unlocked all selected cells and protected the sheet. I
am just wondering that if I use the TAB key, it works. It
also works when you EDIT a cell and press ENTER.


The two commands I added will make the enter key work like the tab key.
That is what you asked. It doesn't fire (i.e. the settings are not made)
until you edit one cell. You could put it (those commands, appropriately
modified) in the sheet activate event or the workbook open event.

Tom,
I'm sorry, when you press enter, it moves to the left, NOT
to the NEXT SELECTED Cells.
Thanks,
Danny

Tom,
Thank you for your response. With the macro below, after
pressing enter, it won't move to the next selected cell
unless you edit the cell.

Danny

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.MoveAfterReturnDirection = xlToLeft
me.EnableSelection = xlUnlockedCells
If Target.Address = "$C$2" Then Range("G4").Select
If Target.Address = "$G$4" Then Range("C6").Select
If Target.Address = "$C$6" Then Range("E6").Select
'Etc, etc, etc...
End Sub

It
also works when you EDIT a cell and press ENTER. Can

you
edit my macro so if I press ENTER, it will move to the
next SELECTED cell regardless if I edit the cell or not
(like pressing the TAB key to move to the next selected
cell)?

Thanks in advance.

It doesn't have anything to do with whether the cell
contains an entry or
not. The change event only fires when the user

finishes
editing a cell.
The can make a change or not - but if they are in edit
mode and leave it,
then the change event fires. Other than that, your

macro
would not have any
effect.

If you want the kind of control you state, you would

also
need to use the
selectionchange event and use a static variable to

store
the last selection,
then if it meets one of your criteria, move the

selection
to the
appropropriate cell (possibly disabling events so you
don't get a recursive
call).

Have you tried unlocking the cells where you want

entries
and protecting the
sheet. If that won't give you the order you want,

then
perhaps you need to
think about redesigning the layout of your sheet.

I got this macro from this newsgroup (thank you)

that
enables the user to move to selected cells by

filling up
the cell or use the tab key:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$C$2" Then Range("G4").Select
If Target.Address = "$G$4" Then Range("C6").Select
If Target.Address = "$C$6" Then Range("E6").Select
'Etc, etc, etc...
End Sub


However, if the active cells are already filled up

and
the
operator uses the ENTER key to move to the next

cell, it
doesn't work. Let's say the active cell is C2
(previously
filled-up). If you press enter, the active cell

will
be
C3
instead of G4.

Please help.
