  1. HI Debra!
    I just want to adapt this Userform for my project in school. Can you do a sample the same as this userform but the Data Entries MUST NOT on the same column like what you have here in your sample video, its in one column, its in Column D. Mine should be entered in different cells like D1, A2, C3, G4 and so fort. Some of the cell will be transferred to the Record Sheet and some will be retained in the form. Can you also give me a code for this especially on how to do the scrolling (NEXT, PREVIOUS. I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me fix this problem. Thanks a lot! and more power to you.

  2. I would like to password protect the “input” screen and only allow data to be enetered into the white cells. When I do this, the data that goes into the white cells does not disappear when “add to database” is selected. The data does go to the neighboring sheet as designed, the cells on the input sheet just don’t reset.

  3. HI,
    Thanks for your “FormSheet.xls” (old version).
    This “moddata” macro ( used for update the entered details in “partsdata” sheet is accepting only 53 cells data. (like d1,d2,d3……d53).
    If I add more cells than 53 and when the macro run, it shows 1004 error.
    How to increase this macro for more than 53 cells data, which is going to update in “partsdata” sheet.
    Regards,
    sai babu

  4. Hello Debra, Anytime I update the data and it goes to the database, the formulas disappear from cells that contain formulas. Please what do I do.
