tab direction
I'm sure it's been asked (and answered) a hunderd times before but, is it
possible to change the tab direction so that instead of the tab key moving to the next unlocked cell to the right, it moves to the next unlocked cell down? Many thanks in advance for any and all input. Ian |

There is no setting that I am aware of that would alter this.

Ian,
This changes the direction after pressing the ENTER key, Application.MoveAfterReturn = True Application.MoveAfterReturnDirection = xlDown (ToRight, ToLeft, Up) Regards, Don "IC" wrote in message ...

The question was for the tab key, which those settings do not affect.

Hi Lan,
Based on my knowledge, we can not change the default behavior of the TAB key. Why do you want to do this, if you have any concern, please feel free to post here.

Unfortunately ENTER does not restrict movement to unlocked cells.

Is there a way to tab from one cell to one other specific cell? I need to
tab from B5 to F10 but G9:I9 are unlocked. Ideally, I need to tab down a specific column (F, G, H or I) but cells are unlocked in all these columns. I suspect this isn't possible. I tried using a named range, but rows 12 and below contain code which is activated on selection and the range selects the cells first. Ian "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...

Hi,
I think it is hard to do that, because how can we tell that when we press Tab how many cells should be skipped. I think for your scenario, we can try to wrtie a if..endif statement to judge if we need to fire some event when we use tab to navigate through the cells on the sheet. If you still have any concern, please feel free to post here.

If you have a specific set of cells you want to tab through in a specific
order, you can select the cells using the ctrl key in the order in which you want to tab through them. Then, go to the namebox and enter a name for the range, sub as TabList Now as long as the cells are selected, if you just hit the tab key, it will follow that path. If you want to repeat this at a later time, go to the name box, click the down arrow and select Tablist. then the cells will be reselected with the previously established order. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "IC" wrote in message ...

FYI, I solved the problem by using complex "If" statements in
Worksheet_Change to lock and unlaock cells as required. Thanks for the pointer. Ian ""Peter Huang"" wrote in message ...
