Hi all,

I want to make a simple database - I already have a list of User ID's in Column A.

I would like clients to enter their User ID in F1, DOB in G1 and Location in H1.

I would like to add a macro button where once clicked, it should look for the User ID and paste DOB and Location in to columns B and C.

I would really appreciate any support. Many thanks in advance.

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.

Hi there Celticfc.

I have modified a code I found on Ron de Bruins page for your purposes.

here is the code you require. I would also suggest that you set up data validation as a list in cell F1 with the source as all your IDs or =$A:$A to prevent any issues

Code: 
Sub Add_Info()
    Dim FindString As String
    Dim Rng As Range
    FindString = Range("F1").Value
    If Trim(FindString) <> "" Then
        With Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A:A")
            Set Rng = .Find(What:=FindString, _
                            After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _
                            LookIn:=xlValues, _
                            LookAt:=xlWhole, _
                            SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
                            SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
                            MatchCase:=False)
            If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
                Application.Goto Rng, True
                ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = Range("G1").Value
                ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Value = Range("H1").Value
                Range("F1:H1").ClearContents
                Application.Goto Range("A1"), True
            Else
                MsgBox "Nothing found"
            End If
        End With
    End If
End Sub





Another way you could do this is with a slight alteration to the code:
This does away with the need for cells G1 and H1, the user simply selects their ID from the data validation drop down, presses the button and enters their info in the two input boxes that appear. I think this is slightly more end user friendly.

Code: 
Sub Add_Info()
    Dim FindString As String
    Dim Rng As Range
    FindString = Range("F1").Value
    If Trim(FindString) <> "" Then
        With Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A:A")
            Set Rng = .Find(What:=FindString, _
                            After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _
                            LookIn:=xlValues, _
                            LookAt:=xlWhole, _
                            SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
                            SearchDirection:=xlNext, _
                            MatchCase:=False)
            If Not Rng Is Nothing Then
                Application.Goto Rng, True
                ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = InputBox("Enter your DOB", "DOB", "dd/mm/yyyy")
                ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Value = InputBox("Enter your location", "Location")
                Range("F1").ClearContents
                Application.Goto Range("A1"), True
            Else
                MsgBox "Nothing found"
            End If
        End With
    End If
End Sub

Hi
Cooper645,



Thank you for your time.



I have added this to my submit button but I'm getting an expected end sub
error, this is what I have:





Code: 
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Sub Add_Info()

    Dim FindString As String

    Dim Rng As Range

    FindString = Range("F1").Value

    If Trim(FindString) <> "" Then

        With Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A:A")

            Set Rng =
.Find(What:=FindString, _

                           
After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _

                           
LookIn:=xlValues, _

                           
LookAt:=xlWhole, _

                           
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _

                           
SearchDirection:=xlNext, _

                           
MatchCase:=False)

            If Not Rng
Is Nothing Then

               
Application.Goto Rng, True

               
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = Range("G1").Value

               
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 2).Value = Range("H1").Value

               
Range("F1:H1").ClearContents

               
Application.Goto Range("A1"), True

            Else

               
MsgBox "Nothing found"

            End If

        End With

    End If

End Sub

End Sub



Also, once I get this code to work, how can I change the columns from G-H to AY & AZ? Thank you again.

p.s. Subscript out of range error

This is how it should read, you had a sub in sub thing going on.

To change G & H simply change the range references. Don’t forget to amend the clear contents range.

Thank you very much.

I have used a user form with text box and planning to extend my work.

Just one question:

1)When I run the above code, it goes to sheet1 to do the changes, is there a way to stay on the entry page with everything getting done in the back ground?

What is the sheet name that the DOB and LOCATION need to be made on?
Also where would you like to finish up after the code has run? IE which sheet and cell.

If if you let me know I’ll amend the code to suit and highlight the changes to help you figure the code out.

If you post your code as you have it working at the moment and also let me know where the changes need to happen and where the code needs to finish, I will sort it for you.

Hi Cooper,

I have developed the code further,

I need a code where if I haven't highlighted a combo or textbox within by userform, I don't want to paste it's data back to my database as it takes long time and it's unnessary.

For example, with the current code, if a client just enters or updates 1 box, all 23 boxes get pasted again even though they haven't been changed.

I would appreciate your help, many thanks.
Code: 
Private Sub Submitbutton_Click()
    Dim FindString As String
    Dim Rng As Range
    FindString = Range("e11").Value
    If Trim(FindString) <> "" Then
        With Sheets("manager 1").Range("f:f")
            Set Rng = .Find(What:=FindString, _
                            After:=.Cells(.Cells.Count), _
