Dave Hawley - You may recall you helped me with this:
Hi Nigel

assumming you know how to select a cell with VBA place this in the Private Module of the Sheet concerned. Right click on the sheet name tab and select "View Code"

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
Application.MoveAfterReturn = Not IsEmpty(Target.Value)
End If
End Sub

As you can see it assumes your cell is A1

Trouble I do not know how to select a cell in VBA (fairly new to this VBA game - still learning).

Hi Nigel


To select a cell in VBA you would use:

Range("A1").select
or
Cell(1,1).Select

These are for the activesheet only. If on another sheet the easiest way is:

Application.Goto Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1"), True

The True after the GoTo reference will place the selected cell in the top left of your screen.
