Default Help with selection code

There are several ways to do this, but
assumingthe truck name (matching the sheetname) is in column "C"

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
dim sh as worksheet, rng as range
Dim cell as Range
Dim rw as Long
set sh = worksheets("Main")
me.Rows("5:65536").Clearcontents
set rng = sh.range(sh.Cells(1,"C"),sh.Cells(rows.count,"C"). End(xlup))
rw = 5
for each cell in rng
if lcase(cell.Value) = lcase(me.name) then
cell.Entirerow.copy Destination:= _
sh.Cells(rw,1)
rw = rw + 1
end if
Next

End Sub

Right click on the sheet tab and select view code, then paste in code like
the above in the resulting module.

Hi All,

I am creating a workbook that has one main page that will have a customer
name and item to be delivered to the customer. the other worksheeets in

the
workbook will be labled something like truck1 truck2, etc. The items on

the
main pull sheet will be done at one time during the day and then later

they
will be assigned a truck number. What I would like to do is put some code
on each truck worksheet on activate so that when someone goes to that
worksheet it will go to the main pull sheet and go thru and pull out all

the
ones that have been assigned to that truck.
I am not real familiar with how to pull excel "recordsets", i know how to

do
this working in visual basic but am not sure how to go thru an excel list.
The main pull list will vary in lenght each day so i know i need a looping
statement for i = 1 to ?. second question i am not sure is when it pull

the
record to put on the worksheet i know that I want it to start on row 5 but
am not sure how to code it so that the next record and so forth fills in

the
next line down.
Any help or website that i might look at would be great.

Thanks,


Jeff
