Make sure that Tools|Options|Edit "Move selection after enter'" is not

Thank you, it was set to "Down" and changing it to "Right" or
uncecking did solve the problem when using the "ENTER" key.

But I do a couple of further questions for the net experts:

- The arrow keys still skip some of the unlocked cells

- Before changing the option I would have thought the ENTER key would
have sequenced through the cells correctly due to their locations.

The unlocked cells in question a

B14
B16
B18
B20
B22
B25 C25 D25

When the ENTER key (or still the down arrow key) are pressed the
selected cell would go fro B14 to D25.

Any gurus out there to provide further insight???

That's odd. In any case the selection should jump from B14 to B16 ...unless
you keep Shift pressed when pressing Enter (in which case it would jump to
D25), but I see no reason why the selection would jump to D25 when pressing
the Down key.
