Sorting data
 

Is there a way to automaticaly sort data. For E.G. I have a list of venders
with their names in column B, Telephone No. in column C, Addresse in column D
and so on. And then when I need to insert a new vender I want to use a macro
to insert a new line in the top of the list, put in all the information, and
then I want that it should sort all the venders again so it should be
everything in order. Is there a way it should get automaticaly done or in the
macro? I tried doing it in the macro but it only sorted part of the data, not
the whole list?! Please help!

Sorting data
 

How about just adding them to the bottom of the data and when you're done, you
could sort the range.

In xl2003, you can apply data|filter|autofilter to the range and use the
dropdown arrow to sort your data.

Debra Dalgleish has a technique at her site that adds invisible rectangles in
the headers and then sorts the data by that field when you click on one of those
rectangles.

I cannot add it in the bottem of the list, because I made a combo dropdown
list from all the venders and if I'll add by the bottom of the list, then it
won't be part of the combo dropdown list. I want all venders always to be in
the drop down list. How can I do that?

Use a Dynamic Range for the list.

See Debra Dalgleish's site for defing a dynamic range name.

Also useful may be her info on Combo Boxes.
