Hey guys! First of all, this place is a life saver.

I need to make an excel spreadsheet that retrieves information from another excel spreadsheet (the database) -- both of these are in an intranet.

Now, the retrieval of information should be limited to whatever is in the database.

Meaning in the name section, when I place "insert", for example, it should bring me a list of names on that database.

Can anyone (be kinddddddd enough) to point me in the right direction? Maybe another thread made really similar to this. Or, the best possible scenario here would be a simple template -- I have some basic skills, I can modify to suit me -- that resembles what I'm talking about.

Please? THANKS!

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
