    excel as database with form

    I've just found that this company doesn't have an MSAccess licence, so I have to create a Purchase Order / Invoice system by hiding a worksheet in the workbook. My concept is that the workbook would contain 3 sheets:
    1, Form
    2. Form Template (hidden)
    3. data (hidden)

    So -
    1. on open, copy the form template, find the next sequential number from the "data" sheet
    2. user fills out the form, hits a submit button.
    3. key fields are copied back to the "data" sheet, populating the appropriate sequence row.
    4. worksheet is saved as the sequence number.

    I'm overwhelmed, and feel like a wuss.
    This sounds like it's been done many times, but I can't find the right start point.

    any assistance appreciated

    How well you know VBA?
    It`s look like you need not assistance, and a full program.
    do not torment yourself. order the program for the professionals.

    well enough to understand that this is do-able in excel. I've always been able to assemble code snippets and tweak them to provide the proper results.

    An easy way would be to use the "Data Form" built into Excel, this wouldn't require any code

    Well.
    I think that's a great start.
    A few minor adjustments here and there, and it will work like a charm.

    Thanks for all the help! You guys are great. Very helpful.
