    How can I automate the duplication of a row when the use tabs out of the last cell?

    I'm trying to duplicate the Access "Add Record" functionality in Excel. I want to put this basic record keeper at an operator's workstation so the he/she will record QC results. This will allow us to collect the same data in the same format across multiple workcenters for later collation and analysis. And no, I can't use Access, as much as I would like to. I know how to lock the cells not in use, but how do I create the next record; how to "freeze" the timestamp (Col A); and how to duplicate the dropdown references in Cols. B:E,N

    Is there any way to do this in Excel?

    Have you considered creating a userform that will be completed. It can be made to look like an Access Form. Here is a tutorial on how to do that.

    As to the time: You can set a default in the user form to update the time when you transfer the data from the userform to the spreadsheet.

    Here is some code to display the current time in a messge box. You can modify it for a cell

    Thank you! I do a lot of data manipulation with excel, but I haven't done much development for other users. I didn't even know this was a thing. This is such a small little doodad, it should be easy.

    I appreciate your help,

    Alan
