HI, I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO MOVE FROM : C5 TO D8 BY PRESSING TAB A SINGLE TIME

if it is always just those two, you could lock all the other cells (ie,
without using VBA)

No, it was an example, I have several cells on my document that I need to
jump from left to right and top to bottom...
Thx

JAYC099, I'd take Tim's advice and lock the cells/protect the
worksheet except for the cells you need to access. It would be faster
and more efficient. Sounds like you are working in a form or report.
Pressing Tab or Return in those cases would only move you to unlocked
cells.

O.K
How do I secure the worksheet ???
thx

select the cells you want to access (you can press CTRL + click each of the
individual cells), right-click in one of the selected cells, choose format
cells. choose Protection, untick locked.

then go to Tools on the menu bar, Protection, Protect Sheet. untick the
option to select locked cells (keep 'select unlocked cells' ticked).

you should then only be able to choose the cells you unlocked.

i'm sure there's a better explanation of this somewhere on the web though!

Gord:

How do you run this code? I can't seem to activate it.


Steven

Steven

It is sheet event code and runs when data is entered into the cells in the
aTabOrd Array

Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code"

Copy/paste the code into that sheet module.

Adjust ranges to suit then Alt + q to return to the Excel window.

Macros have a built in feature for setting hotkeys, while Tab has a
hardcoded function in Excel and I don't think it can be over-ridden.

Do you want the macro to move only to D8 if you press the hot-key, and
only to work while in cell C5 or do you want it to displace 1 column
and 3 rows?

If the latter -

ActiveCell.Offset(3,1).Select

Or, the other, which will only work if you are in cell C5 -

If ActiveCell.Address = Range("C5") Then
Range("D8").Select
End If
