    moving to next available cell in a range

    Hi,

    I have created an order form that when I scan a barcode, the result is populated into column A. I then need to scan a number sheet for a quantity into column C.

    The problem I am having with this is that I need the cursor to move automatically from blank cell to blank cell (A3 to C3 to A4 to C4 etc) after the scanned barcode has populated the field.

    Columns B & D-G are then populated automatically from data on another sheet via vlookup.

    Range is A3:G300

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Debra

    Just curious... say you are scanning into K5, are there (or can there be) any cells left/up that are still blank? Would you still want to move to the NEXT blank, or the FIRST blank in the given range?

    Or is it as simple as you always want to jump to column C in the same row as soon as A is filled out? And if C is filled out, go to A one row down?

    This code goes on the worksheet object, not a regular module.

    Yes, it is as simple as wanting to want to jump to column C in the same row as soon as A is filled out and then to C and if C is filled out, I would need it to go to A one row down.

    This will sound dumb but I don't know what you mean by "This code goes on the worksheet object, not a regular module."

    Hi Debra,

    So usually for macros, you press alt-F11 to go to the VBA editor. In there people usually insert a module. This kind of event (selection change, or worksheet change) goes in the sheet. You can access that 1 of 2 ways:
    1. In VBA editor, at the left you should have a list of objects (Sheet1, Sheet2.... ThisWorkbook). You need to double click the sheet that the code should affect, and paste what I posted there.
    Or
    2. From the workbook, right-click the tab for the sheet that you want the code to affect, select "View Code" which brings you to the same window, and then paste the code there.
