Cursor does not move on protected sheet
I am stumped on this one. I have a workbook with three sheets; one is a
general input screen used to gather specific data relative to a business plan and is also used to perform calculations on the other two sheets. The second sheet is used to input job specific information and uses information from the first sheet to perform calculations. The final sheet is a repository of the overall calculations. On the first two sheets, I have used conditional formats to indicate which fields require input from the user. I have also protected the sheets and workbook in addition to hiding the third sheet. Sheet 2 works fine; however, on sheet one, the cursor does not move. I can manually click to the next field for input, but it is not "obvious" that the cell is selected. On several occassions, the file has locked up (for hours!) and I had to CTL+ALT+DEL to start over. The cursor moves just fine on sheet 2. What should I be looking for to resolve this problem? |

Try clicking Window, Unfreeze Panes (if it is available.)

Cursor does not move on protected sheet
Freeze panes not selected. I can input into the cell, but the cursor stays
static. I have options set for the cursor to move down, and it does on the 2nd sheet. It is just the first sheet where the cursor remains static.

Puzzler. I'd be happy to look at it, fwiw. Clear all the data/formulas of
proprietary stuff if you want, as long as the problem remains. -- Jim "pseudo_pro" wrote in message ... | Freeze panes not selected. I can input into the cell, but the cursor stays | static.

Appreciate the reply, but I'll work on it a little longer. It ONLY behaves
this way when protection is turned on and only on this one sheet. "Jim Rech" wrote: Puzzler. I'd be happy to look at it, fwiw.

Cursor does not move on protected sheet
What I have found that I think will work is to write a macro which will
control the movement of the cursor. I am not very strong in macro writing, so any help would be appreciated. There are two sheets that require input from the user. The first is a PROFILE sheet which asks the user to input specific information relative to their business plan. Once input, it does not need to be changed unless something changes in the business. (This is the sheet that is NOT allowing cursor movement at the moment and hence the need for a macro.) Here are the cells in order of their needed input: PROFILE!C3 PROFILE!C4 PROFILE!C5 PROFILE!C9 PROFILE!C10 PROFILE!C11 PROFILE!C12 PROFILE!C13 PROFILE!C14 PROFILE!C18 PROFILE!C19 PROFILE!C20 PROFILE!C28 PROFILE!C29 PROFILE!C33 PROFILE!F3 PROFILE!F5 PROFILE!F11 PROFILE!F12 PROFILE!F14 (this field is a drop down using validation) PROFILE!F15 PROFILE!F20 PROFILE!F29 Ideally, I would also like a prompt to save in this macro as well. |
