Dataform
 

I am using Excel 97.

Is there a way to customise the form in the Data menu?

I agree with Bob that useforms are the way to go, but contrary to Bob, I
believe there is a way to customize the dataform using xl4 macro commands.
I don't have reference handy that shows how to do it unfortunately - but
again, it is easier to roll you own. If you aren't interested in that, you
can look a John Walkenbach's site where he has done it for you:.

John Walkenbach has an enhanced data form that opens with the record of
the active cell. You can download a free version, and the VBA code is
available for purchase if you need that level of control.

I have never used it, but have seen it recommended several times.

Thanks for the info Tom. I have never used it either, and I tend to avoid
XL4 solutions, but I will certainly check it out.
