    Return cursor to start

    I am using Excel with a bar code reader to record tools being checked out of tool crib . inputting into a table 4 columns wide
    and after last input I need the cursor to return to beginning of next line. I am already using a worksheet_change routine to enter date in last cell
    that doesn't change tomorrow so can't use another one to return cursor. I'm thinking a macro to return it but need advice on how to run it after last entry.

    Re: Return cursor to start

    return the cursor to the first column of the next row? Do you advance through the columns with the tab key? Does the enter not suffice?
    Thanks,
    Solus

    Bar code reader is the only way to input
