    Wink Copy a line with a specific key word into another sheet.

    Hello all,
    I have been working on a worksheet that I will use as a log, and to complete it I would like to copy a line with a specific key word into the corresponding sheet.

    I have 5 sheets in my workbook (the main database named "log", "Bill", "Tim", "Marty", and "Dave").
    When their name appears in the engineer column which is column D, I would like it to automatically copy the line into their respective sheets.

    How can I set this up?

    Many thanks in advance!
    Nikki

    Re: Copy a line with a specific key word into another sheet.

    Hello HaHoBe,
    I tried yours and it said script out of range. Was I meant to change any of the values?

    patel45's worked great but I am wondering if there is a way for the sheets to update automatically as something is entered?

    Anytime I change anything in the log, I will have to delete what is in each sheet and run the macros again for them to be updated without a bunch of duplicate lines.

    Hi, kkihead,

    regarding the run-time error (my bad I didnīt update the code accordingly):

    This code will take away the line from sheet Log. The other way is (as you mentioned) clear contents on all named sheets prior to running the macro, I wouldnīt take the Workjsheet_Change-event to trigger the macro after a change but use the Worksheet_Deactivate - you would need to activate any other sheet to view what has been copied.

    Ciao,
    Holger
