Newbie question:

I am looking for the best way to fill in a form (in sheet 1) after the
database has been done (in sheet 2). Don't want to use the Form feature of
Excel as I want to print and distribute the reports.

My question is how I can fill in the cell of the form that i want from the
database?

Form:

ID: 2

Status: Done
City: LA
Paid: NO


Database:

ID Status City Paid
1 Done Kansas Yes
2 Done LA No
3 Working on Denver Yes


Thanks for your help.

Paul

I'd suggest an approach like this:

Sub SetData()
Dim Idx As Integer
Dim DataRow As Range
Idx = Range("Idx").Value
Set DataRow = Range("Database").Rows(Idx)
Range("IDCell").Value = DataRow.Cells(1).Value
Range("CityCell").Value = DataRow.Cells(2).Value
Range("PaidCell").Value = DataRow.Cells(3).Value
End Sub
