Default How Can I set the TAB to move only in the desired fields on sheet

I want the Tab to go to only few desired fields on a sheet. The fields can be
selected like C2, D10 or F32 etc.

How can I achieve this ?

You could select those cells, and unlock them (FormatCells, Protection tab)
Then, protect the worksheet (ToolsProtectionProtect Sheet
When you press the Tab key, you'll move to the next unlocked cell.

If your cells are in a left to right and top to bottom order, see Debra's
answer.

If in a random order.................

You can use a named range to "jump" through in any order you design.

Select SECOND cell then CTRL + click on each succeeding cell in sequence, ending
up with the cell you want to start at.

InsertName Define........give your range a name and OK.

In namebox select the name and the cells will be highlighted in the order you
want.

Just type and hit ENTER key to go to next cell.

Note: there are limitations on the number of cells in a range.

See Bob Phillips' site for more help on this.

There is a VBA method if you choose. Post back for that.
