i have a workbook,( great start to a stupid problem)
problem is my code doesn't code ... ( stating the obvious) what is suppose to happen is:
when i enter data into sheet 2 the data should be visible in sheet 1 as a Catalogue form, aswell as when i enter new data on the next availeble row of sheet 2 it should create a new " item" on sheet 1 with the same formatting as the previous "item" in addition to that it should paste a corresponding image from a set folder to the prescribed block that was created.

now my code doesn't want to do any of that... PLEASE HELP...
VBA Code:
Option Explicit ' Enforce explicit declaration

Sub CreateCatalogItem(ByVal Target As Range)
    On Error GoTo ErrHandler ' Enable error handling

    If Target.Worksheet.Name = "Sheet2" And Target.Row > 1 Then
        ' Check for data entry on Sheet2 (excluding header row)

        ' Find the next empty row on Sheet1
        Dim nextEmptyRow As Long ' More descriptive variable name
        nextEmptyRow = Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1

        ' Copy data from Sheet2 to Sheet1, aligning with headers
        Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(nextEmptyRow, 4).Value = Target.Cells(1, 1).Value ' Description to D1
        Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(nextEmptyRow + 3, 4).Value = Target.Cells(1, 2).Value ' Used in to D4
        Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(nextEmptyRow + 4, 4).Value = Target.Cells(1, 3).Value ' Price to D5
        Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(nextEmptyRow + 5, 4).Value = Target.Cells(1, 4).Value ' Code to D6

        ' Insert and paste image into the designated box
        Sheets("Sheet1").Pictures.Insert (Target.Cells(1, 5).Value) ' Insert image
        Dim imageData As Variant ' More descriptive variable name
        imageData = Selection.ShapeRange.Picture
        ActiveSheet.Range("A1:B6").PasteSpecial ' Paste into A1:B6 (adjust if needed)
        ActiveSheet.Pictures(ActiveSheet.Pictures.Count).CopyData imageData

        ' Optional: Delete the original image shape if desired
        ' Selection.ShapeRange.Delete

        ' Merge cells for description and image block (as previously specified)
        ' ... (Code for merging cells) ...

        ' Optional: Wrap text in description cells
        Sheets("Sheet1").Range("D" & nextEmptyRow & ":H" & (nextEmptyRow + 2)).WrapText = True

        ' Format price cells as currency
        Sheets("Sheet1").Range("D" & (nextEmptyRow + 4)).NumberFormat = "R#,##0.00"
    End If

Exit Sub ' Exit before error handler if no errors occur

ErrHandler:
    MsgBox "An error occurred: " & Err.Description, vbCritical, "Error in CreateCatalogItem"
End Sub

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
