hi,
part1 - importing data
yes this could be done with a macro. but you would have
the reverse happen when the user is done. exporting the
user input to the "data" file. you did not provide enough
info to help you there.
Personally i would have considered a master workbook with
10 buttons each opening a different workbook that
contained the template on one sheet and the data on
another. but i don't know how many users you have so you
ay be going in the right direction.
Part2 - e-mail
see this site
http://www.rondebruin.nl/sendmail.htm
it has sample code for mailing excel just about anyway you
can think of.

Can anyone help me - refer me to a template example? I
have been
writing (or attempting to) various stuff in excel but am
still
learning.

I have written a spreadsheet/programme that i use for
various projects.
The programme contains around 10 worksheets that users
have to enter
info into.

It is a large programme, and is now nearly 1mb in size,
also i am
constantly improving/updating.

Is there any way that i can say copy all of the data in
all worksheets
(i.e. cell contents - not worried about formatting) onto
1 sheet, and
then saving that sheet as say the data file. When the
user then opens
the programme, they enter which filename that they wish
to work with
and it imports all of the data from the data file into
the correct
place on each worksheet.

Is there also a way that the user can export sheets to
another file to
send by email for someone to use e.g export sheet 1 and 5
(will need
the formatting but not worried about the calculations
etc), so that the
outside party then has the data but not the programme
workings (or
size).

Thanks for your help in advance as i have been trying to
crack this one
for ages and haven't got very far.
