List Creation from Static tab
 

i have created a sheet in Excel that will be used by sales reps to enter in a
few items which they can get from drop down boxes. the problem i am having
is, this will be the only sheet for them to use, and we are asking them to
'save as" and then when complete, to re-use the same sheet for the next phone
activity. i need to creat a second tab that will keep a running list of what
was entered into the static tab as soon as they save it. how do i do this?

This is event code; you must right-click on Sheet1 (or whatever sheet you
use) and click View Code. Then paste the code below into the window that
opens:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range("$A$1:$b$400")) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Worksheets("Sheet2")
.Select
.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
ActiveCell.Value = Target.Address
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
ActiveCell.Value = Target.Value
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
ActiveCell.Value = Now()
ActiveCell.NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yy"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
ActiveCell.Value = InputBox("You've made a change to the Rates tab.
Please enter your name here for historical purposes.")
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End If
End Sub

PS, this code is pretty awesome (not my own doing); found it on this DG a
while back.

Your initial post did not contain many details, so I can't tell what you are
doing. Try to change the range in the code. Now it is set for:
Range("$A$1:$b$400")

Change this to match your data.
Post back if it does not work when you retry.
If you do post back, give more info.

Have you tried the Template Wizard with Data Tracking?

Writes each newly created workbook record to a data.xls workbook.

Maybe this will work better for you (it is slightly more automated than the
prior version):

Function MyUserName() As String
MyUserName = Environ("UserName")
End Function

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Application.Intersect(Target, Range("$A$1:$BB$4000")) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Worksheets("Sheet2")
..Select
..Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
ActiveCell.Value = Target.Address
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
ActiveCell.Value = Target.Value
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
ActiveCell.Value = Now()
ActiveCell.NumberFormat = "mm/dd/yy"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select
ActiveCell.Value = MyUserName()
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End If
End Sub
