I would like to be able to press Enter after I complete the entry in any cell
in any column and have the Enter key take me back to Column A in the next
row. This happens sometimes and I'd like to have it happen all the time.

Excel versions 2003 and 2007.

Thanks for your assistance in this matter.

Put this tiny event macro in the wroksheet code area:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
i = Target.Row
Cells(i + 1, "A").Select
End Sub

Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and automatic to use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the Excel window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you have any concerns, first try it on a trial worksheet.

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.


To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window

Start in A1...........Tab your way across to G1

Leave G1 by hitting ENTER key.

You are now at A2

Just on the off chance that there is a SelectionChange event floating
about somewhere, you should turn off events.

Application.EnableEvents = False
>i = Target.Row
>Cells(i + 1, "A").Select
Application.EnableEvents = True
