Hi. I have table with many rows of data, and I'd like to have certain cells copied in the same row when data is entered in a specific column in that row. This is what I have so far:

Private Sub worksheet_change(ByVal target As Range)

If target.Column = 29 Then
Thisrow = target.Row
If target.Value <> "" Then

Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 3).Copy
...(more code that copies cells follows this)

End If
End If

End Sub​

If the user presses the Tab key after entering data in column 29, then it runs just as I want it to run. The problem comes when the user presses the Enter key. Data in the wrong row is copied when that happens. Is there a way to detect if the Enter key is pressed which then would run code that would simply go back up one row and run the code to copy the cells in the active row? Or, is there a better way than what I'm thinking of doing? Hope that made sense. Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
This is the problem line
Code:
Cells(ActiveCell.Row, 3).Copy
ActiveCell is not the changed cell, it is the cell that is now selected.
If you press Tab, ActiveCell is one to the right of Target
If you press Return, ActiveCell is one below Target.

If you base your activity on Target, rather than ActiveCell, it will be corrected.
Code:
Cells(Target.Row, 3).Copy
