I work for a business in which we enter our client contacts into excel. In
2005 we had approximately 1200 contacts. Is there a way to set it up so
that when people enter someone's name some of the other information (such as
age, address, etc.) can automatically show up if it was previously entered?
I've had complaints that it's very time consuming for staff to go back &
find that information and I keep thinking there has to be an easier way.
Thanks for any suggestions & help!

Suz,
Would a Userform be a possibilty? You could check your client
"database" when the client number is entered (not sure where?) and if client
data is present you could display in Userform. Is the data (age, address)
required to re-entered or is it for info only?
