Hi experts, this second line of code is making me feel foolish.
The first line does its thing where data is entered and upon enter moves
to the right until column 8 then correctly act like a carriage
return back to column B and next row down.

Once I get past G25 I want to return to B8... what have I got screwed up in
the second line?

If ActiveCell.Column 7 Then ActiveCell.Offset(1, -6).Select
If ActiveCell.Column 7 And ActiveCell.Row 25 Then _
ActiveCell.Offset(-18, -6).Select

Thanks,
Howard

Rather than moving around via offsets, just go straight to the cell you want:

If ActiveCell.Column 7 Then
If ActiveCell.Row 24 Then
Range("B8").Select
Else
Cells(ActiveCell.Row + 1, 2).Select
End If
Else
Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 8).Select
End If

Doing it this way is also somewhat clearer than your method, IMHO.

Hi Auric_

Thanks for helping me out.
I tried all three suggestions and can't make it work. Here is the whole code and just to recap, this is what I'm trying to do.

Start in B8 and type in two characters and hit enter, code takes me to the next cell right and repeats until it gets to column 8, then does a carriage like return to column B next row down. When it gets to G25 and enter is hit should go back to B8.

Your codes sure look like that should happen but at G25 I get the carraige like return and if I continue to enter two characters and enter it just carriage returns on down column B. (out of range as the very first statement prompts a exit sub)

I'm puzzled to say the least, perhaps a look at the entire code will shed some light.

Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
' Active Range B8 to G25
If ActiveCell.Row < 8 Or ActiveCell.Row 25 Or _
ActiveCell.Column < 2 Or ActiveCell.Column 7 Then
Exit Sub
End If

Dim MyString, MyLen
MyLen = Target
MyString = Target.Value
MyLen = Len(MyString)

If MyLen = 2 Then
If ActiveCell.Column 7 Then
If ActiveCell.Row 24 Then
Range("B8").Select
Else
Cells(ActiveCell.Row + 1, 2).Select
End If
Else
Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 8).Select
End If
End If

End Sub

Thanks,
Howard

Howard,

Try this:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
' Active Range B8 to G25
If Target.Row < 8 Or Target.Row 25 Or _
Target.Column < 2 Or Target.Column 7 Then
Exit Sub
End If

If Len(Target.Value) = 2 Then
Select Case Target.Column
Case 2 To 6
Target.Offset(0, 1).Select
Case 7
If Target.Row = 25 Then
Range("B8").Select
Else
Target.Offset(1, -5).Select
End If
End Select
End If

End Sub

Hi GS,

Much cleaner than "If yada-yada End If".

However, it does error out with "Invalid Character" as soon as I pasted it in my code, entire line to red and refers to first $ sign. ??

Thanks,
Howard

the quotes are missing
try:

You can also try:
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B8:G25")) Then Exit Sub

Yes, I see that I also forgot to wrap the range address in double

If Not Intersect(Target, Range("$B$8:$G$25") Then Exit Sub

My apologies...

Yes, but with 1/4 the required processing! Your If construct requires
VBA to do 4 processes (1 for each condition) whereas the Intersect
function does the same thing in a single process. That makes using
Intersect() 300% more efficient in this context.

Hi Garry and Claus,

I'm feeling like a real troublemake here.

I have tried all corrected versions the two of you offered. If I make entries outside the B8:G25 range I get the familiar "Run-time error 91
Object... Block variable not set" Code line is yellow highlighted up to but excluding Exit Sub.

On Error Resume Next seems to cure it, is it proper to do that?

(Maybe my Excel has the Flu, or maybe I do.)

I don't advise using an error escape. Claus' revision is the way to go,
and is what I should have posted if things around me at the time
weren't so hectic. (I was at the hospital receiving treAtment via IV
and kept getting interupted. No excuse, though! I apologize for all the
extra trouble!)

GS,

No need for appoligies, for sure. You have helped me often and I appreciate your patience and your good advice.

Got it working just fine.

I had it in the back of my mind that error escape should be used very sparingly, if at all.

A question on that very thing. Often when using the change event sub for some activity if I click, drag and highlight portions of the worksheet not included in the change event code, say to delete stuff I don't need I get an error about invalid entry or the such. On Error Resume Next seems to eliminat that, is that good practice??

Thanks for your kind words...

Again, Claus rescues the situation! In light of the added info about
how users may work with the data, Claus' recommendation is the better
way to go!
