VBA form question

[dosman]

I have created a 23 column spreadsheet with data validation cells using drop down lists and a few columns that do the standard date formatting (4/18/19 displays as Thursday, April 18, 2019)

Converting it to a table is not desirable and I would love to have a user form that "pulls" the validations from the existing cells in 2 sheets. Once the form creates the next row in the sheet I need to be able to go back and adjust values in the drop down lists without having to use the form which I only need to create a new row of data.

I am not a VB coder (although I am learning) but this is above my current pay grade. I do not know if the form would require me to clear the validation from a cell to allow it to do its magic or if the form can merely mirror the validations and formatting that already exist. I need the drop downs to still be functional once the form creates the row.

The form would only require a button on the main sheet labeled "New Job" with an "Add" button at the bottom. I can create the form using the VBA editor but am not sure of the code to insert.

I am more than willing to share the spreadsheet for analysis if anyone can help.

Best regards to an awesome community.

I will do this later today. The holiday has me busy. This is looking very promising! I cannot thank you enough for taking time on a weekend to help me.

Do not worry, it's just an advance. Enjoy your holidays.

I just inserted the code and it looks great! I have 2 comments

I noticed the Page Rate choices in the form do not reflect accurate numbers after 4.4

The date submitted field in the form should not be required to add the record as this is usually entered after the "job" has been added. That is my error for not clarifying.

Best regards

Where do not they reflect exact numbers, in the textbox on the sheet?

And Only remove the validation:

    If TextBox2.Value = "" Or Not IsDate (TextBox2) Then
        MsgBox "Enter a date", vbExclamation
        TextBox2.SetFocus
        Exit Sub
    End If

My apologies for the late reply. It was in the drop down list on the form where I choose the page rate. if you look at the page rate validation I should be able to choose from 3.25 up to 5.00 in increments of .25. In the form it stops at 4.4 and starts adding long decimal numbers. I will fix the validation with the code you sent. Thank you!

You're welcome.

Did you see what I was referring to? Since this is in development I know it's probably an easy fix. Thanks again

I assumed you were going to fix it

Enter the excel options and activate: Precision as displayed

I apologize for getting back to you do late. I really think the form is going to work as you submitted in the advance unless you think it is not. My only question is how to invoke the form from the main sheet with a button. I do not see any modules to call.

Thanks again for your assistance
