    Excel - Detect Change Within a Cell

    I know of course about the Worksheet_Change event but as far as I can tell that event only fires when you leave a cell that you've just changed. Is there any way to detect a change as it's made in the cell?

    not as far as i am aware, no events fire until you leave the cell, can you place a textbox over the required cell(s)
    application.onkey might be usable, but for a lot an key would require mapping of all keys
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed
