keeping the rows together
 

I'm Creating a directory based on new clientele and i want it alphabetical.
now my problem is tha if i enter for example in A1 Kim Smith, B1 111 rogers
rd, C1 555-555-5555, then continue with other names addresses and phone
numbers, how can i get all the info per row to stay together when i sort
column A? Is there a way to make the each column in the row work as one when
it sorts?

keeping the rows together
 

Simply select the *entire* datalist before you sort.

I suggest to *never* use the sort icons on the toolbar.

In fact, I've removed them from the machines of all my users.

XL is right most of the time ... BUT NOT all of the time.

It didn't happen. the text in column B stays put and only Colum A sorts

select the entire worksheet by "ctrl+A".
select Data-Sort
Select "Column A" in Ascending order...ensure that in "Options" it is
selected to be columns and NOT rows...

Let us know if this also doesnt work...

Click the letter A above your column of names.
Hold down the shift key and click the header letter of the last column that
you wish to sort.

Data Sort ...... as previously described.

I don't think your program is faulty.

I think that your sheet is "Protected".

<Tools <Protection <Unprotect Sheet

Faulty, no, probably not!
Is the worksheet protected .... Tools Protection?

What's the possibility that you may have some underlying code?
