Many thanks - this did exactly what I wanted.
It also gives me ideas on how to do other things in the future.
Thanks again.

Something like this will allow a change to be made in the text box for the
active cell.
The textbox name and userform name will need to be changed to suit your needs.
Both code snippets go in the code module behind the UserForm.

Private Sub UserForm_Click()
Unload UserForm1
End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
Dim x As String
x = ActiveCell.Address
Me.TextBox1.ControlSource = x
Me.TextBox1.Text = Range(x).Value
End Sub

Greetings

I am using Excel 2000

I have a spread sheet with columns holding Date, Order No., Name, etc

I wish to generate a user form which will display data from a selected row,
i.e. the entry's date Order No., Name, etc in Text boxes.
This will permit the user to simultaneously review and edit the data in a
reduced error manner.

I can so far only get a text box to display the existing content of a
specific cell, eg. "C15".

How do I get it to display the data from appropriate cell of the selected row.
So far the Control Source field associated with the Text Box has rejected
all my attempts.

So far I have defined the appropriate cells as a Range.
