Then why don't you cross-post instead of multi-posting?

Then those of us with real news readers will be able to mark which are
cross-posted.

If you continue to multi-post you may find you receive very little help from
those who have a "plonk" button.

Ironically Dave from all the post that I've created I have only one
response. I am new to Google groups which is probably one of the best
websites I've ever been to, keep up the good work Dave. I was hoping
for and answer from any responders that's why I gave a sarcastic
remark. I am still looking for an answer can you help me or are you
just a administrator of this site officially or unofficially either way
I understand what you are saying and I will try to keep my post to a
minimum. Although my topics could apply to different groups so that's
why I will selectively find the right groups for my problems.
Thanks Dave

My response was a request to you and a warning to others that any response could
be a waste of their time. And heck, do you really want to have to read all the
followups to all the threads you started? Isn't that a waste of your time?

You may not appreciate this, but when I see others warning me that the same
message is multiposted to several newsgroups, I appreciate the warning.

Hello microsoft.public.excel.worksheet.functions my name is Zig I am
trying hard to find out how I can use a input application to input data
into a specified excel sheet. I have learned how to input the data into
the excel sheet although I need to prevent the inputs from being
duplicated. I have used a validating solver to prevent duplicate
entries but it only works if you type the text into the sheet. I am
unable to get the input application to follow the validation rule. Is
there a way that I can use a input application to prevent duplicate
entries into the excel sheets and if duplicate data is true can i
redirect it to another specified sheet? Please help! If you can help
please email me @ Zigball @ Gmail.com

This is a code that I use to get a input into the spreadsheet.

' frmAddresses class
Option Explicit
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

'Load the combobox with states.
cmbStates.AddItem "AL"
cmbStates.AddItem "AR"
cmbStates.AddItem "AZ"

cmbStates.AddItem "CO"
cmbStates.AddItem "MD"
cmbStates.AddItem "NC"
cmbStates.AddItem "NY"
cmbStates.AddItem "WV"

End Sub

Private Sub txtZip_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, _
ByVal Shift As Integer)

' Pass through only digits.
If KeyCode < 48 Or KeyCode 57 Then
KeyCode = 0
Beep
End If

End Sub

Public Function ValidateData() As Boolean

' Returns True if the data in the user form
' is complete, False otherwise. Displays a
' message identifying the problem.

If txtFirstName.Value = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter a first name."
ValidateData = False
Exit Function
End If

Exit Function
End If

ValidateData = False
Exit Function
End If

Exit Function
End If

MsgBox "You must select a state."
ValidateData = False
Exit Function
End If
If txtZip.TextLength < 5 Then
MsgBox "You must enter a 5 digit zip code."
ValidateData = False
Exit Function
End If

ValidateData = True

End Function

Public Sub ClearForm()

'Clears all data from the form.
txtFirstName.Value = ""
txtLastName.Value = ""
txtAddress.Value = ""
txtCity.Value = ""
txtZip.Value = ""
cmbStates.Value = ""

End Sub

Public Sub EnterDataInWorksheet()

'Copies data from the user form
'to the next blank row in the worksheet.

Dim r As Range, r1 As Range

Set r = Worksheets("Addresses").Range("A2").CurrentRegion
Set r1 = r.Offset(r.Rows.Count, 0)
r1.Cells(1).Value = txtFirstName.Value
r1.Cells(2).Value = txtLastName.Value
r1.Cells(3).Value = txtAddress.Value
r1.Cells(4).Value = txtCity.Value
