Capture ENTER
 

I have some code in Worksheet_SelectionChange (ByVal Target As Range)

I want to redirect the activecell to another place when the user hits ENTER
(actually would like it to move the focus to my combobox).

I am not able (or don't understand) how to accomplish this. I have tried
the Target = 13 in other places in my code with comboboxes and keydown and it
works, but it doesn't work in this sub. Any suggestions?

The SelectionChange event will fire when the user's selection changes from
one cell or range to another. The Target argument is a Range object that
references the newly-selected range. So I don't think you need to trap the
Enter key - I think you could just trap the event and move to your ComboBox
based on the new selection.

Capture ENTER
 

I actually want two different things to happen. If the user uses TAB, he
should move to the next cell. If he hits ENTER, I want him to move back to
the first column and activate the combobox. This is why I wanted to capture
the ENTER.

Ed,

OK - I think you'll have to use Application.OnKey then. The worksheet
object doesn't expose any type of keyboard events that you can trap.

'/ this maps Enter key to subroutine named "test"
Application.OnKey "{ENTER}", "test" '/ use {RETURN} for Return key

'/ this unmaps Enter key
Application.OnKey "{ENTER}"
