I have this code:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
On Error GoTo enditall
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Cells(3, ActiveCell.Column).Value = "NAME" Then
n = Target.Row
If Cells(n, ActiveCell.Column).Value = "TOOLING" Then
Excel.Range("A" & n).Value = "T"
Target.Offset(, 1).Select
Target.Offset(, 3).FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC[-2]=""TOOL
LAYOUT"",""N/A"","""")"
Target.Offset(, 4).FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(RC[-3]=""TOOL
LAYOUT"",""N/A"","""")"
With Selection.Validation
.Delete
.Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop,
Operator:= _
xlBetween, Formula1:="CUTTER PATH (REFERENCE ONLY),TOOL
LAYOUT"
.IgnoreBlank = True
.InCellDropdown = True
.InputTitle = ""
.ErrorTitle = ""
.InputMessage = ""
.ErrorMessage = ""
.ShowInput = True
.ShowError = True
End With
End If
End If
If Cells(3, ActiveCell.Column).Value = "FEATURE NO." & Chr(10) & "/
TOOL ASSEMBLY" Then
n = Target.Row
If Cells(n, ActiveCell.Column).Value = "TOOL ASSEMBLY" Then
Excel.Range("A" & n).Value = "T"
Target.Offset(, 1).Value = "TOOLING"
Target.Offset(, 2).Select
Target.Offset(, 4).Value = "N/A"
Target.Offset(, 5).Value = "N/A"
With Selection.Validation
.Delete
.Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop,
Operator:= _
xlBetween,
Formula1:="CUTTER,DRILL,BORINGBAR,REAMER,TAP,GAUGE ,BRUSH"
.IgnoreBlank = True
.InCellDropdown = True
.InputTitle = ""
.ErrorTitle = ""
.InputMessage = ""
.ErrorMessage = ""
.ShowInput = True
.ShowError = True
End With
End If
End If
enditall:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

works great if I hit enter but is it possible to trigger it using the
tabkey also?

The code in Worksheet_Change fires when you exit the cell. Using the
tab key exits the cell if your entry was done by just typing without
entering 'Edit Mode' by menu, F2, or double-clicking the cell.

Correction: the Tab key exits whether in 'Edit Mode' or not.

It does when I hit the Tab key (if the contents were edited).

You have a sheet_change event.

Something has to be changed or edited in a target cell.

Are you typing in the cell then hitting the Tab Key to exit?

Should fire your event.

If you don't type or edit something in the cell Tabbing out will fire nothing.

Hitting ENTER key will not fire your event if you do not change or edit the cell
contents.

D-click then Tab or ENTER will fire the event.

F2 then Tab or ENTER will fire the event.

Picking from a Dropdown list will fire the event.

Is there something like

Application.OnKey "{TAB}", "TabProc"

anywhere? It wouldn't even have to be in the workbook you are working
on ... if any code traps a keystroke that trap overrides the normal
behavior until code turns the trap off.

Do you have any addins installed?
