Automatic Moving to the Next Cell
 
When using Excel to produce forms, I want to automate how the cells are
selected when inputing data. Usually, I unlock the cells that will have data
entered in them and lock the remaing cells. Next, I protect the sheet.
Then, I use the tab key to move to the next cell that requires data instead
of having to click on the next cell. I'd like to take it a step further.

Does anyone know if I can direct Excel to automatically move to the next
cell when I enter data in the current cell? These particular cells only have
one digit entered in each cell. So, without having to use the tab key, once
a digit is entered in a cell, I'd like the next cell to be automatically
selected so I can input another digit.

Thanks!

You can do this if you set up a userform to collect responses, but I don't
think you can do it with worksheet cells.
