Cell value while typing
While I am entering data on a particular cell, I want a userform to go
through a list of values on a sorted database, scrolling down to those that contain the typed data. Thus, excel will be suggesting me different values which I may pick or not. To accomplish this, I can only think on analizing the pressed keys and paly with the control source of the form, but can't find a method that will tell me the pressed key value on a cell while it is being edited, before I press enter. Any suggestions? |

Cell value while typing
Hi
problem is what in a cell while you're in 'Edit mode' a macro (or a userform) can't run. So I doubt this is possible -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany Cordobes wrote: While I am entering data on a particular cell, I want a userform to go through a list of values on a sorted database, scrolling down to those that contain the typed data.

Not possible. Nothing useful to you/VBA happens while you're editing a cell. HTH. Best wishes Harald "Cordobes" skrev i melding ...

Hi Cordobes,
As Frank and Harald noted, there is no way to do this if the user must be typing into a worksheet cell. If you're a bit flexible, you could do this with a listbox or some other ActiveX control placed on the worksheet. Or it could be done all on a UserForm. -- Regards, Jake Marx MS MVP - Excel www.longhead.com [please keep replies in the newsgroup - email address unmonitored] Cordobes wrote: While I am entering data on a particular cell, I want a userform to go through a list of values on a sorted database, scrolling down to those that contain the typed data.

You could try positioning a text box over the cell and catching the text as
the user types in it. Tim. "Cordobes" wrote in message ...
