I'm trying to make a quick way to enter a line of data that is NOT repetitive
for time tracking.

I want to click into the first column, then Tab through the rest and have it
either autopopulate the data in the cell, or let me type a couple of letters
to bring up the appropriate menu item from a list:

DATE(auto enter today or allow to type)
HOURS(default to 0.25 but allow free entry)
Select(combo box choice of a few text items)
Select2(another quick-choice list)
Text field(free entry only)
Reference(automatically add one to the field above it)
Select3(another quick-choice list)

Not a complex spreadsheet, but some macros might save me hours per year of
typing considering I have to enter everything I do in the sheet during the
day.

Any help is appreciated as I have no idea where to start other than to fire
up the VB editor.
