I've create a form and I want to be able to tab through the the unlock cells
in a certain order. Now when I hit the tab key it tabs from left to right by
rows. I want to set the order of the "tabbing" with maybe a macro. Is this
possible?--

In addition to what you find on Bob's site, here is event code from Anne Troy.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Anne Troy's taborder event code
Dim aTabOrd As Variant
Dim i As Long

'Set the tab order of input cells
aTabOrd = Array("A5", "B5", "C5", "A10", "B10", "C10")

'Loop through the array of cell address
For i = LBound(aTabOrd) To UBound(aTabOrd)
'If the cell that's changed is in the array
If aTabOrd(i) = Target.Address(0, 0) Then
'If the cell that's changed is the last in the array
If i = UBound(aTabOrd) Then
'Select first cell in the array
Me.Range(aTabOrd(LBound(aTabOrd))).Select
Else
'Select next cell in the array
Me.Range(aTabOrd(i + 1)).Select
End If
End If
Next i

End Sub

This is sheet event code. Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code".

Copy/paste the above into that sheet module.

I can't get Anne's code to work. I've checked it several times.

Anne's code will work if you make changes to a cell in that array of addresses.
It work if you're just by tabbing.

(F2 and hitting enter will be enough to fire the change event.)

Typo probably

It "won't" work if you're just tabbing.

The code does run if I press F2 and Enter.
I would prefer a one key tab but this will work fine.
Thanks so much for your help.
