What exactly is the purpose of a data form?
I'm studying Excel and just completed learning about data forms. Out of
curiousity, what might be some types of applications/examples for using this feature? |

Creating purchase orders or invoices or quotes.
Employment applications or reviews. Anything you would normally fill out by hand can be done with a data form. ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com www.MyExpertsOnline.com "Carter Devereaux" wrote in message ...

Using the DataForm feature can make it easier to enter data into a
table in Excel, or find an existing record. It's a nice feature for users who don't have the time or programming skills to create their own UserForms. You could also try John Walkenbach's Enhanced Data Form. It's a free add-in that allows combo boxes, and unlimited fields. http://j-walk.com/ss/dataform/index.htm Carter Devereaux wrote: I'm studying Excel and just completed learning about data forms.

If the OP is talking about Data=Form in the menu, then I wouldn't see an
application for the things you cited. It is pretty specific to updating a Database/list/table in an excel sheet. Yours sounded more like a userform. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Anne Troy" wrote in message news:6bd9e$42c724e2$97c5108d$11659@allthenewsgroup s.com... Creating purchase orders or invoices or quotes.
