I am using Winxp pro, MS Office 2003

I have a workbook with about 30 sheets.
All sheets are formatted the same.
All sheets have columns for the following:
Item # Item Description Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4
The number of rows on the sheets is variable.

I would like to create a report on any one of these sheets using the
Item #, Item Description and only one of the 'Level' columns (not always
using any particular 'level' - this will be changing for each report).

It would need to contain all the rows on the particular sheet, again the
number of rows on any given sheet is not consistent so I would need a
way to tell excel how many rows to pick up.

I know that I could use copy and paste to accomplish this, but I would
like to automate the creation of this report, maybe using a parameter
type input box like those used in Access so the user can enter the range
for number of rows and the general columns, and then add the address for
the 'level' column to add to the report. Then these ranges would be
dropped onto a template for emailing to the customer. All of this would
live behind a button I will add to the toolbar.

I am much more familiar with access than excel, so while I know this
could be done in access, I am not sure if this is a good approach in
excel, and if not, what would be a good way to go about getting this job
done. I do know that there is a program called Crystal Reports, but I
don't have access to it, so I can build this simple template myself if I
can just get the info automated and dropped onto the template for the
report.

Any help or advice you can give me on this project sure would be
appreciated. As always, I bow to your experience and expertise.
