Default Programming with events

That is absolutely fabulous.....Thanks I was thinking there was a way to add
code programmatically since you can do it with Modules, I just didnt know if
it worked for the built in class modules of excel, ie ThisWorkbook, Sheet1
and so on....
to answer Dave petersons question about importing data:

We frequently compile mailing lists from our customer DB and other outside
mailing lists. We combine all the lists together in a VFP table and then
create some fields that tie together the zipcode and other fields. Then the
list is then exported to an Excel file that contains what we think are
duplicate entries. We have found it easier to use Visual Foxpro to build
some custom fields. We used to use Excel with formulas but this TAXED the
heck out of excel especially when we did sorts. So we create the lists in
Visual Foxpro sort it based on the custom fields, and export the likely
duplicates into an XLS file.
Once the user has marked all the records they think are duplicates the list
is checked against the MASTER list created and the marked duplicates are
deleted from the VFP table.
I have programmed Excel to use conditional formatting so the rows that are
marked for Deletion are colored RED, but I found it very hard on the eyes to
follow the row Im on, so I created a nice little
highlight routine, that basically highlights the ENTIRE row that the current
cell is on, which is based on the SElectionChange event in Sheet 1 class
module. so now its easier for anyone that uses our deduplicating utility to
easily the compare current row data to the row above or below it, with out
having to move the eyes or the cursor to much.

Thanks bob,
I should have no problem getting this to work, it was a big HELP.

You could add the code dynamically. See

Good day all,
I have tried several ways to do this and can not find a way to make it
happen with out creating a template and copying data from a worksheet

into
the template.
I have a workbook that has 3 different events programmed into it. I am

using
the ThisWorkbook and Sheet1 excel objects. We are currently using a

table
exported from VFP into an excel sheet, and I would like each time this

sheet
is generated to have the events I have programmed to be "automatically"
imported. I know I can open the Workbook and copy and paste the events

into
it, but I want it to happen automatically so our marketing department

can
use it. So my question is how do I take a NEW worksheet and add my

events
to
it...I've tried to create an Addin and that doesnt work, the only way I

have
found this to work is by creating template with the events programmed

into
it, and copy the data from the exported worksheet into the template, and
then re-save the template worksheet to the exported worksheet name.
