Hey guys- I am looking for a way to take a form/template (dont know the
difference) and use that for my data entry. The fields on the form would be
'linked' so to speak to the corresponding cells in my worksheet grid, and
vice versa. Everyone seems to think this is difficult to do. HOWEVER-

I found this in the help section in Excel, and am wondering if anyone has
any experience with it and doing what I need done?
"Using the Excel Template Wizard This wizard links cells in your form
template to fields in a database, so that data entered using the form can be
stored automatically as database records when users save copies of the form.
The database can be a list on an Excel worksheet, a Microsoft Access
database, or any of several supported database types."

It sounds as if this wizard will do what I need done, yet, no one seems to
know about it. Does anyone have experience with this who can tell me a
little more about it? I also need to use my form for viewing my records on
my worksheet as well as printing them out.
Thanks
D
