Default sub forms in excel?

jackrobyn1 - In looking at your original question again, I get the impression
that we may not need a big form with several subforms. You asked "...enter
data into 4 worksheets from the same on screen form, depending on which
subform i enter data into".

What if we phrased it differently: "can you enter data into (up to) 4
worksheets from the same on screen form, depending on WHICH CONTROLS ON THE
FORM I enter data into". At that simple level, the answer is a very
resounding YES - and reasonably easy to accomplish.

Would the way I phrased the question provide a solution for you? The big
form could have indicators showing that if you enter information into various
groups of controls on the form, then the information would be placed
somewhere on a particular worksheet. This could be done. The things to work
out are what information you need to be entering on the form and where it is
to go onto the various worksheets: into specific cells that may always be the
same on a sheet, or into a new row on a sheet, or some combination of those
types of things.

is it possible to have 4 subforms embeded in 1 big form in excel like access
does? in other words i can enter data into 4 worksheets from the same on
screen form depending on which subform i enter data into.

If it is possible are there any sites i can go to to see examples of how its
done?

thanks
