Subject: Macro to copy


You could add a button from the Forms toolbar (or use a shortcut key or
even Alt-F8) to run a macro that copies the cell with the activecell on
it:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim NextRow As Long

With ActiveSheet

'after the end of the first group, but before the start
'of the second. I used row 88.
NextRow = .Cells(88, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1

'some minor checks
If ActiveCell.Row < 100 Then
Beep
'or give a message
MsgBox "Move to the second group!"
Else
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Copy _
Destination:=.Cells(NextRow, "A")
End If
End With
End Sub


If you're new to macros:

Debra Dalgleish has some notes how to implement macros he

David McRitchie has an intro to macros:

Ron de Bruin's intro to macros:

(General, Regular and Standard modules all describe the same thing.)

macro copy that line to the bottom of block A above
