What we will need to decide is what changes in the Summary sheet we want to retain. It may be that a list of valid changes/additions/deletions will need to be provided to someone, who can make the changes in the Panel.

I think any row that has a value in the "Project Number" column should be retained. Since this repersents the Engineered Adds and Deletes waiting to be programmed in the field. Also if a device is deleted (wiped out) on the summary sheet the Device Type does not clear...(Correction, if you delete one line at a time is works fine but not with multiple lines)
Also I sure your aware but if the create summary sheet macro is ran twice it overwrites any manual entered devices. Perhaps this is because we have not retained anything yet

It occurred to me that for the engineer to make a manual entry, he would need to navigate to the appropriate line. I'm not sure of the best way to do this, but by allowing selection of the locked cells, it is possible to use Excel's "Find & Select" mechanism to get there. They can now Find and Goto a particular merged address, or Device Address,

This will be fine, its what they are use to using...

CompareDataVsSummary checks to see if there a
Added Devices (on Summary sheet but not on CompareData sheet)
Changed Devices (merely checks of any differences in the editable cells between the two sheets)
Deleted Devices (on CompareData but not on Summary) -- the logic of this latter we have discussed.
It then formats the output so as to enable relatively easy analysis. I'm sure there are better ways to format the output, and am open to any suggestions that you think might make analysis of the data more clear.

This works I just need to play with it more, but for some reason deletes the contents of the CompareData sheet after executing...
Also would it be possible to order these as "Added Devices" "Deleted Devices" and then "Changed Devices" there will be more adds and deletes then changes...

There is also an AddLoops macro which does not really allow adding anything, but is merely a very preliminary thought on how to allow user modification of the Summary sheet in terms of adding loops or nodes. (Snipped)
What I'd like to do is a single dialog box where the node is selected (perhaps with a spinner) and then multiple loops would be allowed to be chosen at the same time (check boxes with multiple selections allowed).

I think the engineers will be open to anything for this...
