Hello everyone, I have after believing my Excel knowledge to be flawless i have hit the reality check when i undertook this project.
I have started an advanced course and within some of that knowledge gained, I started an adventurous project for an order book.
I have uploaded the workbook onto dropbox so hopefully someone can help...
A little about the project and what i am trying to achieve.
I want an order book that will eventually contain locked cells that can be updated via userforms, this is my 100th attempt! the ultimate aim is to stop accidental deletion of data. (This form is shared and updated by 7 users)
I have 7 different work types (all with their own sheets) within these sheets is the ability to add a new record, amend a record and add additional info etc.
Within the add new button it seems to be all working correctly including allowing a unique "ref Id" following the format i want for each sheet.
I have started the second part of the project and have fallen at the first hurdle! (This is the Modify Record button) although will also stretch to the other 3 buttons as i want to be able to search all of the generated Ref ID numbers to bring up the data within the userform and then allow that data to be added or modified, i cannot achieve this. This can be just the generated ID for that sheet, ultimately i want to have a sheet that will contain all of the data but thats a story for another day... there is alot more to do following this and i might be back for some additional help but i am attempting to do this to gain the knowledge for the future!
Can anyone help, have i explained this well enough? Thanks in advance
Simon
