keepITcool...good points, I'll hopefully address those in this response.
If you couldn't tell, I am somewhat new to this.

Some of your Range references are unqualified. For instance, if you were
on
a sheet other than "sheetname" it would cause problems.
Oops, I was using "sheetname" in a generic sense. Yes, it is set to my
specific sheet's name. I can see the confusion because I was explicit
with my Range.

Question 1: You are correct, the headers are part of the Edb. Just so
we're clear, I wasn't the one who created this db, I was just assigned
to create a data entry form and report from it.

Question 2:
Drat, I should've been more specific, my bad. I was assuming anyone
using it would put it where ever they needed it. The code is executed
in the _BeforeClose event because the user can also edit their data
i.e. the data entry form isn't used. The data set is rather small
(<400 rows and < 52 columns).

Don't use the Select method unless you have a good reason. This isn't
one.
Please explain why. I do understand your line of code, just wondering
how one knows when to use Select?

Thanks!
