Formulas can't delete cells.
And maybe you don't need VBA. If the cell contains only the text: Past Due Select that column Edit|Replace what: Past Due with: (leave blank) replace all If the cell can contain other text besides that "Past Due" string: Select that column Edit|Replace what: *Past Due* (the asterisks are wild card characters) with: (leave blank) replace all ricksgma wrote: i need to know how to delete the contents of a cell when a column of dates contains the text "Past Due" using some type of formula or visual basic. -- Dave Peterson |

Record a macro when you do it manually and you'll have the code that you can
assign to the Forms toolbar button. ricksgma wrote: Thanks dave. that works good. is there a macro or something i can make that will do the same thing by pressing a button??
