Use selection_change

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 18 Then
Cells(Target.Row, 1).Select
End If
End Sub

Why go back to column A in the same row? Wouldn't you want to drop down one
row for entering the next set of data?

If that were the case, you would not need event code, just TAB out of column
18 and you will go to column A 1 row down.

Assuming all other columns are locked, of course.

I'm working in Excel 2002

I have a table with 18 columns where the user enters numeric values. The
sheet is proctected, the cells the user inputs information into are unlocked.
Currently I have the following coding:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 18 Then
Cells(Target.Row, 1).Select
End If
End Sub

What this does is if the user tabs out of column 18, row 3 for example, the
cursor goes to column A in the same row.

The above coding works only if there is a numeric value in the cell in
column 18. How can I get the above coding to work if the user leaves the
cell blank?

Thanks.
