How do I make an online form (that is put on the server) in Excel with list
boxes and combo boxes on sheet #1 and the data to choose from (that goes in
those boxes) on sheet #2? I used to do it all the time, now Ive completely
forgotten how and the KB does not even give me a clue€¦..neither does Excel
help (or maybe I either missed it or asked the wrong question). I would
certainly appreciate any help.

Thanks

I may be wrong but I think once a file is saved as a web page all of the
ActiveX controls are disabled.

Perhaps converting microsoft languge to Java would overcome this? I have
been told there are some products on the market that will do this but I have
never checked this for myself.

When I talk about an online form, I didn't mean the web (sorry :)), and the
processes I used in the past had nothing to do with either VB or Java. I
simply had boxes on one sheet and the data that went in those boxes on
another sheet. Problem is, I can't remember the process in between. I do
know it all came off the Excel menu, but I cannot remember what menu items
and in what order I did them.

OK

I think you mean the CONTROLBOX and FORMStoolbars

DO
VIEWTOOLBARSFORMS
OR/AND
VIEWTOOLBARSCONTROL TOOLBOX

CONTROL TOOLBOX IS THE BETTER OF THE TWO

Place the boxes, checkboxes, optionbuttons and so on on you sheet.

For Control Toolbox controls

Go into design mode (triangle)

Select the control and then right click properties

Look for linkedcell in properties and type something like: Sheet1!A1

for a dropdown list this could be: Sheet1!A1:A10

These cells and controls will now be linked.

Hope that helps
