On my worksheet called INV i use this code shown below which looks at the value in cell G13, then opens worksheet called DATABASE & selects the cell in column A that matches.
This works fine BUT if i want to use the arrow on the keyboard to then select cell in column B C D etc etc i see that i cant move from the cell in column A

The only way i can do it is by using my left mouse button.

Do you see why Thanks.


Rich (BB code):
Private Sub GoToCustomer_Click()
    Dim FindString As String
    Dim rng As Range
    If Range("G13") = "" Then
    MsgBox "NO NAME SELECTED IN THE CUSTOMER DETAILS SECTION", vbCritical, "NO CUSTOMER SELECTED MESSAGE"
    End If
    
    FindString = Range("G13").Value
    If Trim(FindString) <> "" Then
        With Sheets("DATABASE").Range("A:A")
        Application.EnableEvents = False

            Set rng = .Find(What:=FindString, _
                            After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _
                            LookIn:=xlValues, _
                            LookAt:=xlWhole, _
                            SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
                            SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
                            MatchCase:=False)
                            If Not rng Is Nothing Then
                Application.Goto rng, True
                ActiveCell.Interior.Color = vbRed
                Application.EnableEvents = True
            Else
                MsgBox "CUSTOMER NOT FOUND"
            End If
        End With
    End If
End Sub

How to calculate loan payments in Excel?
Use the PMT function: =PMT(5%/12,60,-25000) is for a $25,000 loan, 5% annual interest, 60 month loan.
The only bad thing I see is that you are not enabling the events if it does not find the data.

Look at the improvements to your macro:
Rich (BB code):
Private Sub GoToCustomer_Click()
  Dim FindString As String
  Dim rng As Range
  
  FindString = Range("G13").Value       'Use the variable from the beginning.
  
  If FindString = "" Or Trim(FindString) = "" Then
    MsgBox "NO NAME SELECTED IN THE CUSTOMER DETAILS SECTION", vbCritical, "NO CUSTOMER SELECTED MESSAGE"
  End If
  
  With Sheets("DATABASE").Range("A:A")
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    
    Set rng = .Find(What:=FindString, After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), LookIn:=xlValues, _
              LookAt:=xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False)
    If Not rng Is Nothing Then
      Application.Goto rng, True
      ActiveCell.Interior.Color = vbRed
    Else
      MsgBox "CUSTOMER NOT FOUND"
    End If
  
    Application.EnableEvents = True       'out of the End If
 
  End With
End Sub

You have another macro running that is turning off the screen with Application.ScreenUpdating = False, if so, put Application.ScreenUpdating = True at the end of the macro
