    Question data entry spreadsheet

    Hi, this is my first post here.

    I have created a spreadsheet which I would like people in my organisation to use when creating health and safety documents. The idea is that each document is given a unique reference number and the data is stored to form a record.

    As you will see from the sample, I have set up a basic data entry sheet with list boxes making reference to lists within the 'lookups' sheet, and a data capture sheet.

    Using comments, I have indicated where I need help. I'm an Intermediate Excel user although I know nothing about VBA coding.

    Any help will be gratefully received.

    Thanks, Andy.

    Re: data entry spreadsheet

    For the reference number I would not use a list, but populate it using the Max Function + 1, using a Dynamic Named List in the ref column of the data sheet or the Table feature of Excel 2007.

    For the button codes see the Contacts Form example and this

    For the Formula try

    =CONCATENATE(E5,"-",E7,"-",TEXT(E11,"000"),"-",TEXT(E13,"00"),"-",E15,"-",E17)
    Hope that helps.

    Thanks Marcol, I appreciate your help only when I click on the 'add data' button I get a 'runtime error 13, type mismatch' message. Any thoughts?

    Re: data entry spreadsheet

    I can't raise that error. Where does it occur? (The line that is highlighted in the VBa editor)

    I noticed something I overlooked earlier, and have corrected it in this workbook, but I can't see where this could raise or correct that error.

    Try this workbook. Are you still getting the error?
