    trying to make a report card database

    I want to make a report card database that will pull information from a database and put it into the appropriate spaces on a report card.
    There are 3 teachers that need to enter information.
    I have started to build the database.

    I am using sheets.
    sheet 1 report cards (one per page)
    sheet 2 social teacher marks
    sheet 3 science teacher marks
    sheet 4 language teacher marks
    sheet 5 attendance

    My problem, I can make the first report card pull the appropriate info from the cells b2 c2 d2 e2, but when i copy that report card the second report wants to pull info from b42 c42 d42 .

    Can this be done?
    Am I going about this wrong?
    Is there an easier way?

    My goal is to be able to insert new students to existing classes and add the appropriate number of new report pages, and have everything updated automatically.

    Thanks in advance
    Joe

    you can FIX row and/or column numbers with $


    A1 = dog
    in A2 put =A$1
    copy A2 to A3
    A3 contains dog, A2 contains dog

    thanks robert11 i see where that can be used and I am currently updating my workbook.

    My problem is that I want the information to come from the next cells in the database, but the copy paste is grabing information from 40 cells away
