What did you do with the macro? Exactly. What did you do to run the
macro? What is your macro security set at? What version of Excel are you
using? Otto

Here is the revised macro. The location of the names in the first sheet

immaterial except that the names are in Column A (doesn't matter what
rows).

I assumed that the names in sheet 1 are in Column A starting in A2. I
assumed that sheet 2 is named "Two". I assumed that the active cell is
in
the row, in sheet 1, that has the name, in Column A, that you want to
jump
to in sheet Two. I assumed that the names are in sheet 2 in Row 1
starting
with cell A1. I gather that you want to place a button in sheet 1 to
make
this happen. Assign the following macro to that button. Note that the
names in Column A of sheet1 must match EXACTLY the names in Row 1 of
sheet
"Two". HTH Otto

I have a 3 sheet workbook. Sheet1 has names etc, sheet2 has the same
names with other data. If on sheet1 I click on jump, it will jump to
that name on sheet2. What I want to try and do is this. When I jump
I
would like that whole column to be grey, enter my data then return
to
sheet1. Then if I jump on another name then that column to be grey.
Hopefully when I jumped the first time and it greyed out, when I
returned to sheet1 it went back to white. It would be easier to
enter
data in the grey cell without maybe using another cell by mistake.

Thanks for any help I may get.- Hide quoted text -

Ummm not exactly. I haven't explained it well at now I read your
reply. On sheet1 which is called Home the names are from A6 down to
A255 on sheet2 which is called A the names go from E6 to IT6.- Hide

Otto, thanks for the assistance. I have added the macro but nothing
happens at all. No errors messages, nothing happens. I've tried
putting the macro on each page in case I was doing it wrong, each time
the same result.
