Not sure if this is possible but hope someone can help.

I have a group of people with name, address, city, post code etc listed
on an excel 2003 spreadsheet1 and in an Access 2003 database

I have created a speadsheet2 where users input data onto the sheet and
when they insert a value into a cell it is automatically placed in
other required cells.

I would like to automate this process further.

If a cell on sheet2has a name placed in it then the rest of the address
data is collected from sheet1 or from Access and placed in the
appropriate cells on sheet2.

Thanks in advance

John

It sounds like you're describing a situation where a user enters a name in
sheet2 which already exists in sheet1, and you want the data associated with
that name in sheet1 pulled over into sheet2. Setting aside the Access issue,
which is more complicated, you could pull data from sheet1 into sheet2 using
VLOOKUP. For example, if the name is typed into Column A, you could have
columns B through E (for address, city, post code, etc.) contain VLOOKUP
formulas which pull the data from sheet1 into sheet2.
To do the same thing but retrieve the data from Access, you might have to do
VBA programming, or play around with Excel's SQL.REQUEST formula, which I'm
not really familiar with.

Hi

After a few minor tweaks on our spreadsheet, this worked very well.
Thank you for your input and time taken on this. It is much
appreciated.
