Tabbing in a protected sheet into a combobox - Help! Please!

**cabriggsy** · 05-13-2015, 04:14 PM

Hello! I'm new to this board and have already found some helpful things.

I'm currently in a protected worksheet. When protected, I click on the first combobox and then hit tab to go to the next combobox or in some cases a regular unlocked cell. Because the shee it protected, it goes from unlocked cell to unlocked cell. In one spot, I want it go from the cell I'm in to a combobox (Officer1). What is the code to do that?

Tab name in active worksheet is Tax Flow Sheet
Cell that I want to tab out of is D22 (a merged cell with d-f22) that I have named ReviewerDate.
The combobox I want to activate, get into, is named Officer1.

I lookforward to hearing from you!

Thanks!

Christine

Hello cabriggsy,

Welcome to the Forum!

Perhaps you don't know it but there are two types of ComboBoxes: Forms and Activex . It is an important distinction.

I would suggest you post a copy of your workbook for testing. Please change or redact any personal, sensitive, or confidential information before posting.
