Mac,

Thanks so much for your willingness to help me out with this. I am very
embarrassed to report that the problem was that we had named the sheet tabs
in the "actual" workbook so they were no longer "Sheet1", "Sheet2"... Once
we plugged in the tab name, the macro worked perfectly.

I really appreciate your response. Have a great weekend!

Hi,

On 8/27 I posted a question regarding how to enter data once and have it go
to a noncorresponding cell on another sheet within the same workbook, moving
the data to another cell if the intended cell already held data. I received
in response a wonderful event procedure (thanks, Erin) that worked
beautifully in a "trial" workbook. When I applied the event procedure to my
actual workbook, however, it wouldn't work. Data entered into the input cell
didn't go anywhere. I thought one of you might be willing to help me
troubleshoot.

I've copied the event procedure below. I want data entered into sheet6,
cell C8 to go to sheet9, cell C22 (or if C22 already has data, to go to D22,
then E22, and so forth....). As I mentioned, the event procedure noted below
works when used on a new workbook. When it didn't work in my actual
workbook, I tried the following: made certain the cells did not contain
other commands (not sure if that is the right word), made certain I had the
correct sheet and cell numbers, made sure the sheets were unprotected and the
cells unlocked, and made certain the font color for C22 wasn't white. What
else should I consider?


I right-clicked on sheet6 tab and selected "View Code", then entered the
following:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error Resume Next

Dim NewCell As Range

If Target Range("C8") Then Exit Sub

Application.EnableEvents = False

Set NewCell = Sheets("Sheet9").Range("C22")

Do Until IsEmpty(NewCell)
Set NewCell = NewCell.Offset(0, 1)
Loop

NewCell.Value = Target.Value

Application.EnableEvents = True

End Sub


Then I resaved the file.

I greatly appreciate any and all thoughts, suggestions, ideas.
