How about the option that the titles of the fields would be vertical, in case that is needed?

Thanks for this. Exactly what I’ve been trying to do in off-hours, and would never have done it half as well.

Excel 2007's data form still maxes out far too low for my 100+ column tables.

I'd like the ability to customize different forms for different users; selecting which column fields are available in each user's form. Also, the ability to select some non-entry columns which contain formulas and have their values update as the fields of the record are filled out by the user.

Copy-Insert n duplicates of this record would be handy.

If a table field has conditional formating, display this formatting it in the data form field as well.

Conditional user form fields whereby if a column contains a certain value, specified data form fields are enabled or disabled according to a conditional rule.

How is the Excel 2007 version coming along John?

cheers!

Hi, John... Looks great but haven't seen the Excel Data Form field number limitation addressed. Believe it maxes out at 13? 2007 may have fixed that? Haven't checked that out. How many fields does your data form support? If more, it is a super alternative to the native form.

Thanks much!

John, like youself and many others, I prefer to enter data directly on the worksheet. However, your Enhanced DataForm is a useful utility that I've recommended to others. Here are some observations and suggestions:

1) As implemented, the criteria pane is confusing and unintuitive.
2) The utility blows away any data validation set for the columns. In many respects, this behavior undermines the use of the form. As a modification, you can have validation criteria set up directly in the form (in a global options tab perhaps). As a minimum, at least respect any validation criteria previously set.
3) For columns identified with a validation criteria of "Date", add a date picker option for data entry.

Regards, Colin

Having created a form - I would like it to be abe to show data within an excel spreadsheet - i would like the user to be able to request a specific ID number - which is in Row A and then for the data to come up in particular fields within my form.
I would also like for them to be able to click on a button at the end of the form which can print of the form.

Any help and guidance or tutorial instructions are greatly appreciated

Thank you
