    How to prevent SelectionChange event firing before Change event?

    I'm using selection change events to control cursor movement on tab or return.


    Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    '
    If ActiveCell.Address = "$C$1" Then
    Application.OnKey "{TAB}", "ToC9"
    Application.OnKey "~", "ToC9"
    End If
    '
    If ActiveCell.Address = "$C$9" Then
    Application.OnKey "{TAB}", "ToE9"
    Application.OnKey "~", "ToE9"
    End If
    '
    End Sub
    '
    Sub ToC9()
    Sheets("Calculator").Range("C9").Select
    End Sub
    '
    Sub ToE9()
    Sheets("Calculator").Range("E9").Select
    End Sub
    '

    It works fine. But I also want to run a WorkSheet_Change event triggered by the second cell $C$9, that results in $C$1 being selected.

    Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    '
    If Target.Address = "$C$9" Then
    Call ToC1
    End If
    '
    End Sub
    '
    Sub ToC1()
    Sheets("Calculator").Range("C1").Select
    End Sub
    '

    The idea is that when tabbing through the cells, if C9 is no change then E9 is selected but if C9 has changed then C1 is selected. At the moment if C9 changes, the focus jumps to E9 and then to C1, ie the SelectionChange event is firing before the Change event. Any ideas as to a solution? My many thanks in advance.

    If it arrives at C1, even via E9, what is the problem?

    Hi Bob,

    Thanks for your response. In my description I stripped out what I believed to be unnecessary details. The C9 Change event calls a message box containing info about C9 with an OK button after which C1 is selected. As things are, E9 is being highlighted / selected whilst the message box is displayed, creating the impression that the info is about E9.
