Default Tab Control

I have a 15 page pricing program I wrote in Excel 2007 which includes various
forms which would be filled out by the operator. I want to be able to have
the enter key or tab key move from one cell that needs data directly to a
different cell which needs data. (Ex: A5 enter a client name - Enter/Tab to
D3 enter the clients address.) Does Excel have a way to do this??

Default Tab Control

Unprotect the cells you want to input data into. Protect sheet. Tabbing will
now cause you to move from one unprotected cell to the next.

Have a look at Bob Phillips' site for a couple of methods depending upon
sequencing of cells you want to Tab to.

You could also use VBA event code.

If you want a sample of that, post back.
