Yes i have had other responses but i am still requiring more information, so
i'm trying to post on two locations.

. . .there are about 20 choices in the Data Validation List, not just
the two . . .each choice . . will cause a different event . . should i use
an event macro . . i was reading up on it . . .Columns 1-7 in Row A1 will
contain information that will have to repeat into the next row that is being
inserted . . .each choice can cause a different amount of rows to be
inserted, some choices will require no rows . . . Basically i don't want the
user to have to type in the repeating information (to save time) . . can i
still use the one you gave me and modify it a little . . . i would also like
to note that there is data after the column containing the validation list .
.. .the remaining columns in the row contain dates and formulas based on the
action item choosen as well . . the user enters the date the task was
completed in the next column after the validation list . . and then the
remaining columns are set with formulas to change accordingly (basically due
dates for actions that need to be completed based on the action that is
choosen) . . .can i send you a copy . . it's so hard to explain . . would
make more sense if you could just see it . . .thanks again . . i truly
appreciate all the time you given me . .
