    Make TAB key in cell behave like enter

    Hi,

    I have the following problem: I programmed a macro to be triggered whenever I change cell values using worksheet_change. Now, when I enter data with the ENTER key, it works just fine. But when I enter data and istead of pressing enter, I hit TAB, the macro doesn't get triggered....

    Do you have any ideas on how excel can identify when I hit the TAB key while the cursor is inside a cell?

    Re: Make TAB key in cell behave like enter

    Code can't be executed when a cell is in edit mode, and it sounds like that might be the case here if the cell isn't being exited when you hit TAB.

    Do you have the workbook/worksheet set up so pressing TAB doesn't exit the cell?
