I guess I did not clearly state the original problem with the copy and
paste question. What I am looking to do is, once an item is selected
in a drop down menu in said workbook, I want the row with all of its
background data to be copied and pasted into a new row with the
original dropdown menu text shown as the main text. Basically, it
would be like copying and pasting the original row of data before any
other operation occurs.

I am currently creating an excel based estimating software and have
hit a brick wall.

Two-Fold Problem:
My current database format utilizes drop down items under each
estimate sub-item.

First I want to be able to, once an item is selected, have another
line automatically self-insert in the next row with the same drop down
list from the previous line.

Secondly, as an item is selected I also want to have the selected item
copied over to anoth existing worksheet. I am not sure if this needs
to be a pivot table or what because there needs to be some logic to
where it shows up on the second worksheet.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Or if this is just not
possible then a slap on the hand for posting this may be needed.
