Default Advancing to the next cell

Hello all,

Is there a method (like the .SaveAs method) to advance the active cell to
the next unlocked cell? If so, when the active cell is in the last column
of unlocked cells for that row, will it advance to the first column of
unlocked cells for the next row?

I am hoping that there is a method that can be used. I can figure it out
using Range() or Cells() and doing a little math. But to use this way would
take some extra work like some rearanging of my worksheet.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide,

Conan Kelly

Conan,

Use Tools, Protection, Protect sheet, and check "Select unlocked cells"
only.

Then use Tools / Options / Edit tab, and change the "Move selection after
enter" to Right.

Then when you hit enter, you will move right to the next unlocked cell. If
there are no unlocked cells to the right, Excel will move down a row and all
the way to the left.

HTH,
