Hi, I created a data entry sheet (sheet1) where different people will fill it
out and the data will be saved in sheet2. I would like to know if is posible
to update old records by using the entry sheet (sheet1). I using Excel 2007,
but would like to have something to work in early versions as well.

Thank you.

The answer is yes. You could have a person enter a name or ID into a cell
(box, userform,...) and then check if the name (or ID) is already located in
sheet 2. If it is you can copy the data in sheet 2 back into sheet 1 before
letting the person change sheet 1. Then when done put the data back into
sheet 2. If the person is not already in sheet 2 then clear sheet one and
have the person add all the information from scratch.
