I am creating a database. Every time I enter a certain number (e.g. my
manufacturer's code) I'd like to be able to make the (manufacturer's) name
appear in a nominated cell. E.g every time I enter 0123 in one cell, Fred
Bloggs Ltd appears in an adjacent cell.
Can excel do this. I haven't a clue about Macros! Thanks1
