Lol! Fair enough. But what's harder; typing information directly into cells
and then giving it a once over, or reading through manuals and doing online
excel courses in order to find out whether there is a function called 'data
form'? I've been using excel since it first came out and only recently found
out what it was for.

That would be fair enough if it entering data into cells wasn't already
userfriendly enough in Excel. This seems to be a case of adding a
facility
for no apparent reason. It's actually easier to create a list without the
data form because you can copy and paste and drag down etc. outwith the
data
form.
