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:

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

I have a sheet that comrpise TWO blocks of data
Block A goes from *A1 to g20 displays chores that HAVE been done
Block B *goes from A100 to G130 displays chores that HAVE TO BE DONE
Once a chore is done I want to select that line in block B and have a
macro copy that line to the bottom of block A above
I would appreciate any help you can give me
thanks

change
NextRow = .Cells(88, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1
to
NextRow = .Cells(1, "A").End(xldown).Row + 1
