I need a macro to run when a cells in a specific column ares exited...
 

So, whenever a user exits a cell in column D, the macro runs. I'
currently using Worksheet.SelectionChange, but this runs whenever AN
cell is exited.

Any ideas

Hi MadBloke,

Try replacing your existing Worksheet_SelectionChange procedure with:

'===================
Option Explicit
Private col As Long <<=== At top of worksheet module

'---------------------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Set rngOld = ActiveCell.Column
End Sub

'---------------------------------

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Const MyCol As Long = 4 'Column "D"
If Target.Column = MyCol Then
col = 4
Exit Sub
End If

If col = MyCol Then
'User has exited column "D"
'Do something, e.g.:
MsgBox "You have exited column D"
End If

col = Target.Column

End Sub
'<<===================

cell is exited.

Any ideas?

That kind of worked.

Basically, what I'm trying to do is when someone types their name into
a cell in Column D, to search through a list on another sheet, and
auto-fill in other details for them (staff number etc). Currently, it
works, but only if the user types their name and then presses Return
(I'm using Offset (-1, 0) to get the user input).

What I need is to capture the user's input into Column D regardless of
whether they press Return, Tab, or click out of the column.

Any ideas?
