Click tool question
Hi Folks, I need some advice on how to make a user interface friendly. I have a macro sheet that has a list of tasks that is periodically loaded by another controlling macro sheet. The sheet with the list of tasks is used by an end user that has a requirement to quickly be able to click on a button or a cell to capture tasks being performed in a day. As indicated the list is dynamic and contains anywhere from 10 - 800 rows, therefore adding buttons beside each row is probably not a good idea (as row heights will change, and I would need a way to associate a row to a specific button, and also every time the list changes, the number of buttons would have to be adjusted - either deleted and then recreated). Originally this macro was coded using buttons, however it was done for a known small number of entries in the list. I have changed this, so that a double click on the cell that is to be incremented increments a value in the cell clicked on automatically. Problem is that when you double click it leaves you in edit mode on the cell double clicked. This I believe will be seen as not friendly. Though having said that, there could be the odd situation where an end user may require to go into a cell and just put in a value. Does anyone have a suggestion where when you have a dynamic list being loaded into a macro sheet, that has a requirement for an end user to quickly add one to total for a specific list item (ideally with one click), but also have the option to just go into the cell and hardcode a value? much appreciated, Regards, Enzo |

Click tool question
It is kind of dangerous to increment data just clicking on a cell, i double
click by accident all the time, what I would do is put either a spinner button in the menu or 2 buttons, an up and a down, then code them to Activecell=Activecell+1. then they click on the cell they want to chnge, then click the button to increment/decrement. You could even assign the macro to keystrokes so they could change the active cell on Ctl+Shift U and Ctl+Shift D. -- -John Please rate when your question is answered to help us and others know what is helpful.
