Default Find the Empty Cell Macro

Wow! Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me. It works awesome
and your explanation is very helpful to me.

You can simplify your macro considerably by doing your Validation statements
against a range instead of each individual cell. I have done this in the
code below and, in addition, I have also included code last 2 lines) to
select the first empty cell (I set a Range variable named BlankCell to it
and then Selected it as I didn't know exactly what you meant by "find" the
cell)...

Sub OrderThenFindEmptyCell()
Dim BlankCell As Range
With Range("B7:B11")
With .Validation
.Delete
.Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, _
Operator:=xlBetween, Formula1:="=Order"
.IgnoreBlank = True
.InCellDropdown = True
.InputTitle = ""
.ErrorTitle = ""
.InputMessage = ""
.ErrorMessage = ""
.ShowInput = True
.ShowError = True
End With
Set BlankCell = .Find("", After:=Range("B11"), SearchOrder:=xlByRows)
BlankCell.Select
End With
End Sub

Call this near the end of your macro:

Sub GoToEmpty()
Set r = Range("B7:B11")
For Each rr In r
If IsEmpty(rr) Then
rr.Select
Exit Sub
End If
Next
End Sub

I want to change this macro so that when its finished changing cells
B7:B11
it returns to the first cell in the range B7:B11 that does not already
have
contents inside of it. In other words I want the macro to return to the
first empty cell in the range.
