If you select all of columns A:B, then use the tab key, does that help?

Install this Change event sub:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 2 Then
Range("A" & Target.Row + 1).Select
End If
End Sub

It will return to column A in the next line after filling cells in column B.
Please post if you need help to install it!

Stefi

Hi Arran,

Press Alt-F11 (launches VB window)
Right Click on your worksheet in the Project window
Choose View code from the local menu
Copy and Paste there the Sub

Stefi

Another option not involving code.

Start in column A, enter data then hit TAB to go to column B.

Enter data then hit ENTER key to drop down and back to Column A.
