Default Automatically select correct range

Reading your reply got me thinking. If I NAME the range, ie 2007, 2008, etc,
could I make the check based on YEAR(Date)? If this can be done, Then I need
to set the range or determine an OFFSET value based on the NAME value.

How is a NAME referenced within a macro?

Thanks,
Les

The simpliest way is to add a new column (or cell at top of form) that
contains the sheet name or the fisical year which is part of the sheet name.
You could also add at the top of the form a year start date and year end date
and make sure the entered date fall between these tow dates.

Within one worksheet, I have a "form" (for lack of a better word) that
represents a year. I copy the previous year and paste below it for the
current year data to be input. The same macro is used to enter that data
into each year. I do not want to enter directly in the spreadsheet, but
rather via a userform.

SPREADSHEET SETUP: The spread sheet is desiged to indicate the date I get
paid. Since I get paid, say on Jan 4, then the days that I worked are in the
previous year.
With that in mind, this is what Column A (Week #) & Column B (date) looks
like. Each date is the date for each Monday of the year.

A B
50 12/17/07
51 12/24/07
52 12/31/07
1 1/7/08
2 1/14/08
3 1/21/08
continues to
49 12/8/08

Here is my question/problem. There will be multiple forms within a
worksheet, one for each year. I need the macro to somehow know which year
(form) is current so that when a user enters the date worked in textbox1,
there will be a check to verify that the date is valid for current year.
Remember the current year of work will include a couple of weeks or so from
the end of the previous year.
