    Cursor Movement

    Dear Experts.

    In sheet1, The cursom must move only following cells

    A2,A5, C10 C15, D15, E50

    Besides this the cursor should not move to any cell.
    It must remain between the cells that I described above.

    Please help

    Without using VBA, you could also just use sheet protection.

    1. Select the 6 cells you mentioned
    2. Right-click and choose Format Cells..
    3. Select the Protection Tab and uncheck the 'Locked' flag
    4. Select Tools -> Protection -> Protect Sheet
    5. On the Protect Sheet dialog window, uncheck 'Select locked cells', leaving 'Select Unlocked Cells' as the only checked option
    6. Set a password (if you want, it's optional) and click OK

    Not sure how reliable this is but you could try it for a while:

    I would use Paul suggestion above if possible.

    What is the problem with the code? - I opened your attachment and moved the cursor between the cells seemed to work ok.


    Can anybody else test?

    I tried it.

    Readify,

    It starts to move out of cell A2, but jumps right back. Sort of a flicker-then nothing.

    See ya,

    Dean

    It works ok for me

    I think what is confusing them is that when they try and select any cell that is not on the allowed list, the activecell reverts back to the last cell that was allowed to be active. This is A2 when you 1st open the book.

    Maybe what they want is that if the next cell in the list to become active & not revert back to the last activecell

    I see you have already replied while I was creating this code so I thought I would post it anyway

    Seems to do the same as yours

    Here is another version that is much easier to adapt when cell need to be removed or additional ones added.

    I wrote this after a similar question was asked in another thread

    Hello Everbody,

    Here is a piece of code I modified to handle ranges with multiple cells in the selection. It Copies all the cell addresses into an array. Add the cell ranges you want to tab through on the sheet in the macro code in Red.

    Installing the Macro:
    1) Copy the Macro code using CTRL+C
    2) Right Click on the Worksheet Tab of Worksheet which will Tab
    3) Click "View Code..." on the Popup menu
    4) Paste the code using CTRL+V
    5) Press CTRL+S to save the macro

    Nice code.

    I knew their was a way of doing it using arrays, but do you think I could get my brain to come up with a working method last night - no I could not.

    Dear All
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    In above example, I refer to

    Case "$A$5"
    Range("c10").Select

    Suppose the cusor is in cell A5, here when I press enter then coursor moves to C10

    Is it possible to move move cursor in cell A2 by pressing UPARROW KEY like excel general sheet.

    In other words,cursor should easily move in given cells with arrow keys.

    Please help

    Here is one way

    Place this macro on the ThisWorkbook module. Change sheet1 as required

    A macro could be made so that the onkey command only works whilst the required sheet is active.
