Our company has 4 locations. As Excel Spreadsheets, there is an electronic delivery board (EDB) for each location saved on our network to be accessed by all sales/ops personnel. Each branch's EDB varies slightly. There is a separate EDB for every week of the year. I have a master for each location to create these from. They auto-save & auto-close after two minutes. Most of the rows are hidden. When something is typed in the last row, a new one un-hides. The time requested column has a drop down to choose: 1ST, AM, PM, or ANYTIME. My problem is those who use this, well I just don't know how they do it, but the drop-down becomes blank, the totals formula's change, and other. We also have a few counter computers that do not have office, but Open Office which really causes havoc with the visual basic code. That location has refrained from using those computers. I tried a visual basic code to make this all work if I password protect the vital cells. But that acted strange also. Such as the settings of what options the user has, but when I look at the settings, they have changed to only "select lock cells". I received this code from a question I posted on the internet. I now have removed it. I would like this to be a visual basic stand alone so no one can mess it up. (I'm the one who has to fix it every time.) I've searched the internet if it can be converted. I also downloaded Visual Basic Express 8.0 to teach myself visual basic. I took a class for 5.0, but it didn't make sense. 8.0 has very good on-line instructions. I'm looking for advise for the best solution to my problem. Not asking anyone to give the visual basic code.
Thank you for all advise.
