Hello,
I want this to run this when i hit a button <add in my form. It works great
if the correct worksheet is open, but I don't run the form in this sheet so
again how do I tell it to look on the database worksheet?
'checks how many rows have data in l and copies the formula down in m
Range("m2", Range("l2").End(xlDown)).Offset(1, 1).FillDown

Thanks guys--
Though daily learning, I LOVE EXCEL!

Hi Jennifer,

Try:

With Worksheets("YourDatabaseSheetName")
.Range("m2", .Range("l2").End(xlDown)).Offset(1, 1).FillDown
End With

Note the prepending dot before each instance of Range.

If you do not qualify the range addresses, the reference will always be to
the currently active sheet.

Prequalify the range with a worksheet reference

Worksheets("Database").Range.......... etc.

No laughing here - we all had to learn. I can see from all your posts that
you are working hard on learning Excel/VBA, so keep it up!

And as a general answer in addition to the other posts: when working with
multiple worksheets, workbooks, etc. I try to always reference everything to
the "highest level" object necessary. That is, if working strictly within
one workbook but with multiple sheets, I will always use
Worksheets("SheetName").Range(Address)...; if I am working simultaneously
with many workbooks I will specify
Workbooks("BookName").Worksheets("SheetName").Rang e(Address)... and so on.
Better yet, if I am going to use these repeatedly, is to use the With... End
With structure or else assign the worksheet to a variable:
Dim MySheet as Worksheet
Set MySheet=Workbooks("BookName").Worksheets("SheetNam e")
It helps avoid confusion both as I oringially code it and - more importantly
- when sometime down the road I (or someone else) needs to debug or modify
it!

Long answer to a short question - but I am a teacher at heart (and, at
times, by vocation)!

Sorry, i didn't read your reply's until today. Sometimes I need a few days to
detox. K'Dales thank you so much for the extended answer, I to am a teacher
at heart and sometimes as a vocation so I really enjoy it when someone takes
the time to really explain the answer. Thank you so much. I will work hard to
understand your reply.
Regards,
Jennifer
