I have a lookup table of items with 1,000 rows containing part number,
description, and cost. I then want to make an order where I have to meet a
minimum. I enter the quantity and part number in two seperate columns and
have formulas in adjoining columns that return the cost and extend it . I
usually am entering 20 to 30 items. It is easier to just enter the quantity
and part number and hit the "enter" key and work on down the column. I could
do this in the old Lotus 123.
I know I can do this in Excel by highlighting a range, telling the "edit"
function to move down or to the right. The problem with this is when I make a
mistake in entering I have to go back and highlight my range again. I just
thought a macro would be easierl

Why would you want to do this, why can't the user enter directly into the
cells ? Why do you want to fill the cells one by one instead of having
multiple inputs on a single form ? How do you cancel this ? How do you
proceed after a cancelled operation ? Why and how do you depend on
what/where the Active cell is ?

HTH. Best wishes Harald

This is a begining, what I really would like to do is start the macro,
wait
for input, put that input into the active cell, move to the right, wait
for
input, put that input into the active cell, then move down and to the left
one cell and then loop. This way I could enter information into two colums
moving down the colums.

Thank you
