I have a 3 column spread sheet. The first column is a consistent letter.
The
second column is a numerical value inputted by students. The third column
is
the =NOW() command.
What I want to happen is after the student inputs their number and hit's
enter, I want the NOW command to execute and the cursor to return the
second
column for the next student input.

I know how to have the cursor move from either the next column cell or the
next down cell. In either case the NOW command is a must to execute
without
having to rely upon the students input.

Any, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you .




Don,
Thank you very much for the help. One small problem, instead of the cursor
going back to the "B" column, it is going to "D". Is there a fix for this?

Thanks,

Dan



Don,
I was able to figure out how to make it go to the next line and back into
the "B" column. What I can not do now is to get the program to stop asking
for an input. If I hit either the ok, or the cancel with the input blank, it
enters the NOW and then goes back to the "B" column.
Now I really can use some help on this.

Dan
