hi Max

It wont work for me when i tried to upload it it would not let me put
anything in F1 or maybe i didnt explain myself prperly am so sorry am just
panicking. will start again if you could help explain in a novice form
pls:

Worksheet 1 is called Master with all the stored information and is
designed
as follows

Name Sex Age Height Occupation Education Religion


Worksheet 2 is designed as an inspection sheet as follows:

Person Location Sex Areapostcode Attitude Height


now what i want to do is if i type in a person's name in worksheet 2 i
want
it to automatically fill in similar columns with worksheet1 i.e [Sex and
Height]

Regards

Lawrence
