Default Excel 03 Trying to create input form

I just can't figure out how to create a simple input form that will put the
data into the worksheet for simple use for someone that doesn't know excel
well. Within that form i need to use drop down menus that I created using
Data Validation. I don't know why I can't figure out how to make this work,
like in Acess
Thanks

I don't speak the Access, but if you want to learn about Data|Validation, start
at Debra Dalgleish's site:

This places Text into the cell.

Sub Get Information()
Information = InputBox ("Enter Information about ")
Range ("A1") = Information

End Sub :)

Excel has a simple Data Form found under DataForm.

As far as why you can't figure out how to make this work...........very
difficult to trouble-shoot from here without more detail.

What do you consider as a "form" to start with?

Just a series of cells that users enter data into?

Yes - thanks. I've created a nice spreadsheet to enter data into but they
would rather have a form to enter the data without seeing the rest of the
entries. and as that info is inserted, it will compile in the database
thanks Tina
