    Help saving user inputted data from a worksheet to another worksheet and saving it.

    Good morning,

    I am new to the forum and after havign a look around for what I need, I can't find the answer.

    I have created a form in a worksheet which I have added questions too and then locked all cells except the ones where I want the answers in.

    I have then added a button to the bottom of the sheet called "Print and Save". This work sheet is called "form"

    On a second sheet called "database", I have all the titles of the questions running from a -> k and nother else.

    What I want to happen is the user input the information on "form" into the boxes available. Once they have completed the questions, I want them to be able to click on "Print and Save" so that firstly the page "form" prints, and then for all of the answers to be saved in "database" below the titles for each question.

    I have had a play, but just don't know where to start. Also, once there is a row of questions below the titles, I don't want it to overwrite information already there, it needs to go onto the next empty row available.

    Could anyone help me?

    Attached is my excel file.

    You will see in the code that I have the code for printing.. I just found this on the net and it seems to work fine for me.

    Thanks alot!

    Pete

    That's fantastic!

    If only I had found this earlier!

    Problem now solved, however it has led me onto another idea.

    Now in database, I would like the first column to be a referance (Basically a counter). So everytime save is clicked, it counts and saves the input as 1, 2, 3 etc.

    How do I go about this?

    Cheers

    I've amended your code and added a Named Range for the input cells - input

    Thanks.

    Was not quite working, but fixed it myself and works perfectly now!

    Thanks very much for your help.. I'll rate you shortly.

    With regards named range clear, I did have this previously, however where I lock the worksheet, the cells which are not accessable within the range being blank and not used (i'm using them as spaces between accessable boxes), the code errors as it's unable to access them. I therefore reverted to clearing each cell seperately.

    What's the advantage of doing them as a named range? Just less typing and slightly quicker?

    In my persuit for perfection now, I want the the database to be formatted based on the quantity. Everytime data is added, I want the "table" to have the border continue with the data.

    I created the range only containing the individual cells, did you?

    You can copy the formats from above, but if you have Excel 2003 you can look at the Lists feature

    Your range consisted of :-

    Not individual cells..

    I have Excel 2007. I just want the column "titles" with a full cell borders and then everytime a row is added, that row to have full cell borders also..

    I can't see how a list will help here?
