The suspect the source of my problem is I am running Excel 2003 and my
reference books are for Excel 2000 and Excel/VB for Windows 95. Apparently, different versions use different syntax. Or maybe I have Dain-Bramage or something€¦. SETUP: A user selects a date, enters data and exits the program. The data entered is saved on a page named RawDailyData. The first ROW has a date for a certain number of days entered on it, beginning in cell C1 Page 1 is named StartPage, Page 2 is named DataInput, Page 3 is named RawDailyData When a user opens the file and enables the macros, the file opens to the StartPage. User sees the following: Step 1 = Choose a date €śA date is selected from a listbox in a cell named EntryDate€ť Step 2 = Click the GO button to enter data for selected date Step 3 = Click the Save & Exit button The GO command button calls the GO macro. I want the GO macro to do the following: 1. See if data already exists on the RawDailyData page for the selected EntryDate. 2. If true, bring up the UserForm1 €˘ UserForm1 has a message and a single command button, named RETURN. The message says to click the return button and select another EntryDate, because data for that date has already been entered. Currently, the button simply unloads the userform, essentially returning the user to the EntryDate select box. (I do not want the user to be able to overwrite existing data) 3. If false, (that is, no previous data has been entered for the selected EntryDate) nothing happens when the GO button is clicked except that the user is directed to the first data entry cell on the DataInput page to begin entering data. I can achieve a TRUE/FALSE result, using a nested worksheet function IF/HLOOKUP. =IF(HLOOKUP(EntryDate,RawDailyData!C1:IM2,2,FALSE) <"",TRUE,FALSE) The first line of data is saved on Row 2. If anything, even a zero, is entered in that cell, the formula results in a TRUE. The cell must be blank for a FALSE. PROBLEM: When I try to achieve the same result using a macro, I simply cannot get all the syntax correct. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Randy |
