Default Is there a way to skip over fields when I press the ENTER key?

I am trying to setup a worksheet for others to use. But I need to be able to
have the cursor automatically jump to the next available field for entry. Is
there a way to set this up?

Hi Kay

If you use 2002-2003 there is a option when you protect your sheet to only select unlocked cells
Maybe you like that

If you're using Excel 2003 you can unprotect the cells where data needs to be
entered by selecting the cells, clicking on FORMAT in the menu and then
select CELLS. In the formatting dialog box, click the PROTECTION tab, turn
the PROTECTED check box off and click OK to exit.

From the menu select TOOLS, then select PROTECTION from the drop-down menu
and PROTECT WORKSHEET from the cascade menu. In the ALLOW ALL USER OF THE
WORKSHEET TO list, turn SELECT LOCKED CELLS off and then assign a password.
Now the only cells the user can access are the ones that you unprotected for
data entry.
