Hummmmm.....
How do I change the value that's in ("Groomed!K" & $E$13)?
Indirect shows me what's there, but doesn't change it...

what this would do is produce the value held in Groomed!K22 in the cell with
the formula. But I don't see how that wouild be different than the index
formula you already have. (except in the formula you have, it would return
the value in K23)

Hi Dave:
That doesn't work.

The cell that displays the lead status uses this formula:
=INDEX(Groomed!K2:K501,$E$13)
where $E$13 is the cell on the user's worksheet that holds the cell link
number, which is the row in column K, on worksheet Groomed, that contains
the
current lead status, either "Hot" or "Cold".

Let's say that the value of $E$13 = 22

I need to be able to set .range("K$E$13")
So that Excel would see .range("K22")

I know what cell needs to be changed, I just can't figure out how to
communicate the row number.....

I hope this makes sense, cause I'm starting to get confused.....

Put a button from the Forms toolbar on that worksheet.

Assign this macro (name it what you want) to that button:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim myCell As Range
With ActiveSheet
Set myCell = .Range("a1")
With myCell
If LCase(.Value) = "cold" Then
.Value = "Hot"
Else
.Value = "Cold"
End If
End With
End With
End Sub

My users have a form that displays specific data from a database.
They have
the ability to change information in the database. Users choose a
customer's
name from a list box, and the form shows the data relivant to that
customer.
One item is called the lead status, and its value is either "Hot" or
"Cold".

I want the user to be able to change the item's value from hot to
cold, or
vise-versa, by clicking a button marked 'Change'.

I'm using the Index function to display data on the form, but that
can't
(apparently) change the value of the data in the database....

Thanks in advance...
