Brilliant Charlie. I’m sure that’s the reason.

I use PED as well (what a wonderful and helpful resource). If you are using PED as I am, then when the CentralErrorHandler returns from presenting the error message, if it is in debugmode then the next statement is Stop followed by Resume. My explanation is that the Stop statement can not be executed because the project is locked, so it moves to the next statement which is resume – and hence the infinite loop begins. At least that is what I think is going on …

Omaha is still using rotary phones?

Probably party lines, too.

Jim: You may have run into a limit using the line continuation character rather than an array limit. Rewrite you code so that you’re filling the array one by one rather than using the Array function. Like this

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim aTabOrd(1 To 12) As String
Dim i As Long

'Set the tab order of input cells
aTabOrd(1) = "B1": aTabOrd(2) = "B2": aTabOrd(3) = "B3": aTabOrd(4) = "H1"
aTabOrd(5) = "H2": aTabOrd(6) = "H3": aTabOrd(7) = "C6": aTabOrd(8) = "G6"
aTabOrd(9) = "B7": aTabOrd(10) = "B8": aTabOrd(11) = "B9": aTabOrd(12) = "E9"

'Loop through the array of cell address
For i = LBound(aTabOrd) To UBound(aTabOrd)
'If the cell that’s changed is in the array
If aTabOrd(i) = Target.Address(0, 0) Then
'If the cell that’s changed is the last in the array
If i = UBound(aTabOrd) Then
'Select first cell in the array
Me.Range(aTabOrd(LBound(aTabOrd))).Select
Else
'Select next cell in the array
Me.Range(aTabOrd(i + 1)).Select
End If
End If
Next i

End Sub

[...] 2. This is probably a very well thought out solution and easier in terms of operational complexity but requires more work in terms of code. It’s best read directly at Dick Kusleika’s blog – http://www.dailydoseofexcel.com/archives/2005/01/10/entering-long-array-formulas-in-vba/. [...]

Tray do you know if there is a maximum on the cells that can be in the tab order. I have a spreadsheet with 180 cells I need to add to the tab order. I have entered 147 cells and it will not allow me to add any more. I also tried the underscore you have at the end of each row but get a code error.
Thanks

Comment on Excel Versions by Mathias

No comment on the PC/Mac debate; I am happy with my PC, but I know quite a few hardcore Windows developers who work on Mac and seem happy with it.
I have been doing all my development work with VMs for years now, using VMWare Workstation on a Win7 PC, and really love it. You’d better have a solid machine (i.e. plenty of RAM) to get a good experience, and yes the update process can be annoying at times, but on the flip side I enjoy having a totally clean base machine, and a sandbox where I can install whatever I want, and which I can clone in a matter of minutes. The update process isn’t too bad either – I have a core development machine, with my typical setup, and a few “specialized” machines (XP + Office 2003 for instance), which I rarely use and update only when needed. Every month, I scrap my monthly changes on my core machine, revert it to the last known clean state, update, and restart for a month – and I create a clone for each project. What helps is that I keep no files on my development machine, all my code is on a server in a code repository, so I don’t have to worry about losing anything when I clean up.
In short, it’s a matter of how you prefer to be poked in the eye. Updating virtual machines regularly is a regular minor pain, whereas re-paving a base machine is a major but infrequent hassle…
