How to control which will be the next cell for input.

Posted by MiltonJ on February 07, 2002 3:30 PM

I have a form, ie. invoice etc. I would want the user to fill in a certain cell, then hit enter, and continue to the next cell that I would want, not necessarily the adjoining cell. This would be similar to a data entry form in database programs. Is this possible without VBA/Macro?

Thank you.

select all the cells you want users to fill in (hold down ctrl key to select multiple cells). go to format menu>cells>protection tab, and uncheck the 'locked' checkbox. then go to tools menu>protection>protect sheet or protect workbook. after you have set the protection, users only have to press tab to go to the next cell to fill in.
