    Resolved [RESOLVED] Excel - cannot use cursor keys to navigate

    Hi,

    I've done something. Not sure what but it has disabled the navigation around sheets via cursor keys.


    Does anyone know what property/setting on Excel/Workbook/Worksheet would stop this and to counter it.

    I admit as a view only it works well, but I need to change the data and navigation by mouse doesn't suit me

    Thanks in advance!

    Just as an addition. If I swap to another sheet and back the navigation via cursor keys works again...

    Umm, this is a new one No there is no setting which counters this.

    Is this with one particular workbook?

    Might be that I've put some labels on the sheets (as in userforms).
    Perhaps the focus is not right and fooled Excel...


    Does reset itself once you've flipped sheets though - guess its just not going to fixed lol

    First time I came across it too!
