Doubts in Excel

Hello,

Why have users past to the target sheet when the target
shet can validate and detemine the content of the users
sheet. U se the on change event of the worksheet. A macro
is used to automate your requirements. It can send a
msgbox to the user to tell them incorrect data, if
required.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'macro goes here to validate cell entries.
End Sub

I can create something for you if you cannot manage it. I
will require dummy sheets and more info, of not more than
1mb as my mailbox suffers with "overweight" problems.

Hello All,

I have a master list having data from each location/site
of my company. At the end of Each week I want to update
the list. For this I want the data owners ( DO ) from each
location/site to mail me only the additions/updations
which wud have occured since last week. I have prepared
the format which the DO will use for relaying the
information to me. In the same vein I dont want the DO's
to tamper with the format like some columns have
date/number formatting etc. I want to ensure that DO's
dont overwrite the formatting for the individual columns.
If I set up a vaildation it can easily be overwritten by
cpoying some other cell's contents in to it. I tried
validation along with Excel's password features. I think
correct combination of password protection options and
creating a template may be the solution but the Excel's
help ( I have 2002 excel ) doesnt have any
decent/explanatory writeups on what a Template is ( and
how I could customise it ) and what each protection option
means. Please guide me.
