Default help with dataform and sorting macros

When working on the dataform macro, I get an error -
debugging message - when I run this at the line:
Set myRng = Worksheets("sheet1").Range("a:g")
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Beth

If you name your range, excel will look there to find

your database:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim myRng As Range
Set myRng = Worksheets("sheet1").Range("a:g")
myRng.Name = "database"
Worksheets("sheet1").ShowDataForm

End Sub

In your auto_close, maybe you could sort your data with

headers:=xlno. (just
start with the real data--row 2???).

with worksheets("sheet1")
.range("a2:g" & .cells(.rows.count,"A").end

(xlup).row).sort .....
end with

I used the last cell in column A to find the end of

data. And I only sorted
through G. Fix both of those to match your data.)

I created a dataform macro in Excel with the Auto_Open
name. I need the dataform to be for just the headings in
columns A-G, although there are column headings in A-P,

H-
P aren't needed for the average data entry person. Does
anyone have any suggestions?

I also need to have a column G sort ascending upon

close,
Auto_Close macro. I got it started, but since Row 1 is a
merged cell, and isn't included in the macro, I keep
getting a debugging error. Need to sort G2--end of data.
Any suggestions?

I can provide copies of the macro wording that I tried

to
use if you need to see it.

Thanks!
