Default Multiple data entry - Dynamic textbox

Just rubberband the frame on the form, then put the controls on the frame.
Draw another one on top of it and do the same and so forth. Or setup one,
then copy it.

Thanks Tom,
I will try both the options and will let you know the results.
Although, I never used frames, it may take a while to first understand how
it works.

Other approaches along my original suggestion and your concept of having

30
sets of boxes, would be to use a multipage control with 5 records per

page
(each page as a visible property) or use frames stacked on top of each

other
(each with five records), then have only one frame visible at a time.

the normal approach is to provide one set of input controls. The user

enters
the data and clicks a button. The single record is entered and the

controls
are cleared ready to accept the next record. When the user is done,

then
they click a cancel or done button to drop the userform.

If you want to do something besides that, then perhaps John

Walkenbach's
page on creating a userform dynamically will give you some hints.

Tom,
May be i didn't explained my need properly. If it is one time

effort,
I
will
do it but I dont know really how many records will be entered each

time.
So
is it possible to, say,
-add listbox and textbox controls for 5 records and a 2 command

buttons
-so when there is more then 5 records each time user clicks on

command
button1
- command button1 will hide the filled up boxes and puts blank boxes
- at the end, when user clicks command button2 to end his data

entry,
all
the boxes will be looped
and data will be added to the sheet.

Thanks for your reply.
Regards,
Madiya

Either you want to put 30 rows of controls on the userform or you

don't.
I
didn't suggest 30 rows of controls.

I mean user may enter only one record or
he may enter more then 30 recored at a time. I have to place

a
set
of
one listbox and one text box for each record.

This is a userfrom which works along with macros in the bas

module
and
code behind the sheets and code behind the userform and command
buttons placed on the userform. Your suggession for 30 rows of
controls in rows is difficult as i have other controls which is
connected to the listbox of item by vlookup and shows the

relative
data for the selected item. Morover the records are not 30, it

varies.
This is where the problem is. Also the height of form is limited

to
the screen height.
I hope there are other ways also.
Anyway, thanks for reply.

Madiya

Is this a userform or controls on a worksheet.

If a userform, you can place all your 30 rows of controls in

rows
on
the
userform, then control the height of the userform so that only

the
number of
controls necessary are visible. You can certainly add

controls
at
runtime,
but this seems more complex than necessary.

Hi All,
I got a new project in which I am stuck up at one place.

Rest
all
work
is complete and works fine. The problem is as below.

In my application (VBA Project), the user has to enter the

date
against the predefined items. I have placed the listbox to

select
the
items and another textbox to enter the data. when user press

the
button "Add records" the data entered by him in the

textboxes
will
be
added to the sheet called Production and will be processed

further
to
create PO and work orders.

I have successfully run the macro for fixed no of records.

But
I
failed to do it dynamically. I mean user may enter only one

record
or
he may enter more then 30 recored at a time. I have to place

a
set
of
one listbox and one text box for each record. How to do

this?

While a sample code is more welcome, even plain directions

will
also
be appreciated.
I am using win2000 with office2000 if that helps.
Thanks,
Madiya
