Tab Stops

Posted by Jeremy on January 15, 2001 7:15 AM

Is there any way to set tab stops in excel. i.e. designating which cells the tab button will carry you to.

Thanks!

Tabulation can be restricted the to cells in the
current selection. For example, if you define a
cell range named "range1" as:

=Sheet1!$A$4,Sheet1!$B$5,Sheet1!$B$6

After performing a Go To... (Ctrl+G) to this range you'll
only be able to tabulate within this range.

One more thing....

Mark,
You sent me a formula for formatting a date as text. Well, in my VBA, I have code written that will paste my information from one sheet to another (populating a database). The date on the first sheet is formatted as follows:

=TEXT(TODAY(),"mm/dd/yy")

When I run my macro once, it pastes the date as a text (with an apostrophe in front of it). However, subsequent running of the macro pastes my date as a date. How do I prevent that? Cell formatting doesn't work.

Thanks!!

Jeremy, I'm afraid that I'm out of my league on
this issue. Perhaps you should repost this
question and see if you get a nible from someone
who's more VBA literate. I would recommend that
you include the segment of your code that causing
you problems.
