I don't think the poster wanted to know how to do that, but rather
how to eliminate it. The part about limiting entry to 5 digits is the
part that confusing because you can't do that in Excel or Excel VBA
alone. Perhaps with API or some keylogger coding.

otherwise, would have simply suggested looking to see if there
was a event macro for the sheet by rightclick on worksheet tab,
view code. Next would be to check ThisWorkbook by right click
on the button (excel logo) to left of menu bar, and view code.
And if that wasn't the cause to turn off macros and
see if the problems persists.

Hello from Steved

If I type in any cell in Col D 40043 the moment it types in the last
numeral
in this case 3 the cursor goes across two tabs to the right to Col F.

In every case it types 5 numerals on the last numeral the cursor then
moves
2 cells to the right.

Thankyou.
