What a group! Thanks for all your previous help!
1). Can I change/edit appearance of text in drop downs? Size in particular.
Color and bold would be nice as well. I have numerous drop downs in my
workbook. Unless the size of the sheet is 100% or larger, the text in the
menu drop down is very small. Our sheets are best sized at 60% to 75%.
2). I have a workbook with about 50 tabs. All indexed. And all the sheets
are populated with data from 1 of 4 master sheets. (In same workbook) Data
is input from another computer program running on a machine in the shop, into
1 of the 4 sheets.
If I insert a row on a master sheet, the rest of the workbook is "out of
sinc". Example: If I insert a row above row 16, on the master form sheet,
all is well. BUT . . . when I go to other sheets, the formulae in all the
rows below 15 are all "off". Row 15 is fine. Row 16 has become 17. 17
becomes 18. Etc. As in . . .
A15 of sheet 2 might be . . . ='2000-Master Sheet 1'!A15 And all other
rows for column A would be the appropriate formula. But then, from there
down . . .
A16 should reference '2000-Master Sheet 1'!A16 from sheet 1. But it now
reads =''2000-Master Sheet 1'!A17 There is no row 16. 17 reads 18, etc.
And it's that way on all of the sheets.
SO . . . I either need to know how to fix this, or . . .
If someone tries to insert a row, I need a warning prompt to come up. A
comment box. Bells and whistles, etc. Saying NOT to insert rows yadda yadda.
Can I associate a comment box (or whatever) with a regular Excel menu
function like "insert Row"? Ideally, I'd like to have "insert row" unabled,
with a prompt/warning letting operators know they can't insert rows. Or can
columns be "locked" so no one can insert a new row? (Ditto for inserting
columns!)
3). I'm trying to figure out how to "protect???" certain columns. I don't
want anyone fooling around with the columns that contain formulae. And there
are a ton of them.
Actually, there are only maybe 5 to 7 colums out of 50, on only 4 sheets out
of 50 that they should be allowed to use for manually inputting data or text.
I know this is a bit long. If you'd like to maybe answer just one or two
?s, and "pass it on", that'd be great!
Thanks again! Wayne
