Hello microsoft.public.excel.charting my name is Zig I am trying hard
to find out how I can use a input application to input data into a
specified excel sheet. I have learned how to input the data into the
excel sheet although I need to prevent the inputs from being
duplicated. I have used a validating solver to prevent duplicate
entries but it only works if you type the text into the sheet. I am
unable to get the input application to follow the validation rule. Is
there a way that I can use a input application to prevent duplicate
entries into the excel sheets and if duplicate data is true can i
redirect it to another specified sheet? Please help! If you can help
please email me @

This is a code that I use to get a input into the spreadsheet.

' frmAddresses class
Option Explicit
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()

'Load the combobox with states.
cmbStates.AddItem "AL"
cmbStates.AddItem "AR"
cmbStates.AddItem "AZ"
cmbStates.AddItem "CA"
cmbStates.AddItem "CO"
cmbStates.AddItem "MD"
cmbStates.AddItem "NC"
cmbStates.AddItem "NY"
cmbStates.AddItem "WV"

End Sub

Private Sub txtZip_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, _
ByVal Shift As Integer)

' Pass through only digits.
If KeyCode < 48 Or KeyCode 57 Then
KeyCode = 0
Beep
End If

End Sub
