Tom,
Thanks for that.

The reason I want the cell open for editing is as a nicety
for the user. Before this last line of code there is code
to insert a new row, specially format it with validation
etc. I then position the active cell so the user can
start entering data.

Regards
Michael Green

You can only edit in the active window, so that shouldn't
be an issue.

I am not sure why you want to do this, but if you want to
change the value
in a cell, you certainly don't need to put excel into
edit mode (where code
doesn't run anyway).

Tom,
Many thanks for that - it worked.

However I'm concerned that SendKeys only works on the
Active window. Do you know a way to ensure the key
strokes go to the correct window ?

Regards
Michael

Sub AAAtest()
Cells(1, 1).Select
SendKeys "{F2}"
End Sub
