I'm interested in creating forms also--tried the links below but they don't
work--when you get a moment, if you would please post the revised links.
Thank you very much! Maria

I don't understand your question about viewing and editing existing captured
data in a "flat file"

Might be an "old guy" thing but I, for one, need more detail.

I've create a form to capture my invoice into a worksheet. on the worksheet
i've added another column named Comment.

Now i want to view the invoice and enter comment like "service ok", "canceld"

The problem of doing it in the worksheet self is a little problematic
because the worksheet contains over 71 columns and over a 1000 rows.

I was wondering if the form that i've created in VBA can be used to view
information that was alredy entered and add comment or edit the comment

My skills in this area are very limited and I don't work with UserForms on a
regular basis so not sure what you can do with them.

I would suggest waiting for someone with the expertise to jump in or perhaps
you could re-post in the Programming news group.

If you're not showing all 71 of those columns, then you may want to look at
excel's built in version:
Data|Form (in xl2003 menus)

If that's not enough...
You could look at John Walkenbach's enhanced data form:
http://j-walk.com/ss/dataform/index.htm

The source code is available for a small fee ($20 USA, IIRC). So you can modify
it as much as you want.

And if you want to design your own:

=================
Personally, I like to do my data entry directly into the worksheet itself. I
find that I can use data|Filter|autofilter and show/hide what I want. I can
sort the way I like.

I can enter a value into multiple cells at once. I can drag values. I can hide
columns that I don't want to see.

Dave I'm using all 71 colums and that was the reason why i've created a user
form becuase excel's data form could handle the size.

Presently i'do make use of auto filter and advanced filter. That why i was
thinking that if i created a form to capture the data, why can't i use the
same form to edit the data or modify the data or add to the data that was
partially entered.

Thanks to Debra Dalgleish instructions I was Able to create the form to
capture the data.

Debra does nice work!

You may want to add her site to your favorites. There's lots more helpful
information there.
