User has a spreadsheet: one tab for each "Fund".
They also have a little MS Access DB with comments for each fund. A given fund has many comments: one for each Begin/End date range. At "Open" time, the spreadsheet needs to have the comments for each fund/tab replaced with the latest-and-greatest comment from the MS Access DB. Questions (assuming that I'm going to write some DAO VBA in the spreadsheet that fires at "Open" time, extracts the latest comment for each fund, and pushes it into that fund's tab) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - What would the most appropriate object to receive the comments (which can be up to several pages of form text)? On the sample sheet, the user has comments in a "Text Box" on one tab and a monster cell on other tabs. Is one or the other preferable? Is there a third alternative that trumps the first two? - What event am I looking for to fire when the user opens the .XLS? - Is my VBA code solution the logical one? Or does Excel offer something more concise/user-modifiable? I'm thinking a DAO.RecordSet populated by a query that groups by FundName and does a Max on BeginDate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- PeteCresswell |
