general validation question
 

I was thinking of using the validation (list) in a
spreadsheet but before I get started there are a few
questions.
1) if using the list, is it possible to have language so
the activecell moves to another cell when the validation
is selected?
2) to go along with #1, can language be used with a
validation at all?
3) if coding language can be used with a validation, can
you give an example to get me started?
Thank to anyone who responds.

There are no events associated with Data Validation lists.
However, you can use the Worksheet Change event, like this:

'Assuming your list is in cell B2, this will make cell
'B10 the active cell.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$B$2" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("B10").Activate
End If
End Sub

John,

1) This sort of thing?

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Address = "$E$4" Then
With Target
.Offset(0, 4).Activate
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.


2) Don't understand the question and so with 3)
