Default Altering data that was called with LOOKUP


Hi,
I have a list of data approx 9000 lines long (32 columns), and have a
seperate sheet that allows a user to input a code. This then retrieves
their data item using vlookup(). I would like to let the user then
amend the contents of one of the fields, thus updating the original
data list. Is this possible?

thanks

It could be possible, but you may find it easier to just use:
Data|Form
from the data list worksheet.

Data|Form supports 32 fields.

If you need more, you may want to look at John Walkenbach's enhanced dataform:

may be sufficient

And if you want to create your own, then Debra Dalgleish has a get started with
userforms:
