    Protected Worksheet

    Is there a way to delegate the selection order of cells in a worksheet? I
    have a protected worksheet with a few unlocked, selectable cells. I would
    like to have them filled out in a particular order.

    Hi Kevin,

    The only way I can think is to use validation. Are you familiar with it?
    Data -> Validation. I'd use the formula option and basically restrict input
    on the current cell until such time as the previous cell (i.e. the one you
    want entered first) does not equal "".

    For example, A1 has to be populated before A2, therefore, with A2 selected I
    would go Data -> Validation. Select "Formula" as the type and type the
    following formula: =A1<>"".

    Hope this helps,
    Jon

    Jon, I am familiar with Validation and tried your solution
    It performed exactly as I needed . I dont think I would have thought of
    using validation, I was expecting code.

    Many, many thanks.
