Hi,
I have a workbook that I created for a hospital setting that has one sheet for each hallway in the facility. Each hallway has a block of information that is dedicated to a single room with 16 rooms per hallway. So sheet1 shows rooms 1 to 16. Each block has information like Name, Diagnosis, Ambulation status, etc with an adjacent blank cell for that information to be added. The blocks have quite a bit of information and I have set it up so that the person entering this data can click on a button to the right of each block to clear the added information while keeping all of the static titles (Name, Diagnosis, etc..). The way I did this was to record a macro where I selected all of the cells that I wanted to clear, deleted the information and then assigned that macro to a button. This method has worked fine for clearing the blocks but the issue I am having is that I need a way to move information from one block to another - as in when a resident switches rooms. I have the sheets locked so that certain information cannot be changed - the above titles as well as a few cells that contain dates which link from a seperate sheet. What I am wondering is if it is possible to set up a similar macro that would copy the same select cells when you click on a 'Copy' button and then paste that information onto a different block when you click that blocks 'Paste' button. The same record macro technique I used to clear each block doesn't work for the copy command. Thanks for any advice/help. It may be that the way I have set this up limits my ability to do this.
