    How to do the following by pressing the down arrow or up arrow key?

    Hi,


    I wrote a macro to do the following thing:

    I move from B1 to B100 and for each stop over a B cell, an input box
    prompts me to key in a number to be the value in the current B cell. I
    press enter to move to the next cell. Then, an input box popps up
    asking me for a number again. The process goes on until B100.

    Now, I want to do a slightly different thing: I want to move up and
    down the B cells casually and easily by pressing the down arrow or up
    arrow key without pressing the enter key at all. Is it possible to do
    that? Let me give you an example. Suppose, I am on B3. An input box
    shows up and asks me for a number. I enter 3. I want 3 to be B3's
    value, and I hope to move up one cell by pressing the up arrow key or
    down one cell by pressing the down arrow key without using the enter
    key at all. Is doing that possible? Thanks.

    Look in Excel help at OnKey and sendkey. Define uparror to send a return
    and move up one cell, down arror to send a return and move down one cell.

    Untested suggestion, but the only thing I can think of.
