Hi,

I am trying to automate a few tasks at work and would like to get
Excel to do a few different things. I am new to excel programming, so
if someone could just give me a shove in the right direction I'd
appreciate it.

When we open a workbook I would like to always have it open to a "Main
Menu" area. Then I would like to be able to choose "P" for payroll
and the correct sheet would open.

I also would like to be able to automate inserting a blank payroll
sheet into the active sheet. So I think it would go like this...
I would finish with this weeks data entry area on an employees sheet
in the payroll workbook, and I would like to insert a blank data area
for next weeks payroll... So is it possible for me to start a macro
that would insert 20? blank lines beginning at A23 (for instance -
moving all other data areas from previous weeks down), go to another
sheet in the workbook copy a blank payroll entry area go back to the
sheet I just left and paste the new data area into the sheet starting
at A23. I would like to be able to invoke this macro from any one of
6 sheets and have it insert a new data area into whatever sheet I have
active at the time.

Is that possible and can someone point me to some coding to get me
started? I can pretty much get what I want by recording a macro in
excel ... but then it only goes to the sheet I use to record the macro
from ... it doesn't work on another employees sheet.

Thank in advance,

Mike
 
You'll likely get much more help if you break this down into lots of little
tasks. As it is now, you're asking us to explain an entire project to you...
