Two sheet workbook. Sheet A is a form that fills in customer information based on a drop down box that they select from (cell J4). The drop down box is just a customer number and depending on what they select it fills in the detail - customer name, etc. The user has one blank field in the form to fill in. It's a date (cell c14).

I want a macro that will look at the drop down box (sheetA!J4) to see what they selected and then go to Sheet B and find that customer number (number is listed in column B [a whole bunch of them]) and then place the date in column C next to the right customer number.

I want a macro to do this since I have a macro that prints out an agreement based on the customer and would like to combine it with my other so that the user has it easy.

Can someone help? I have gotten a kick out of VBA and am very green but have had fun learning some of it. I plan to purchase a book this weekend to help with the rest of the project. Thanks!

Default Re: Macro Needed

Hello,

I know you posted this a long time ago, but I have only recently registered, and am trying to work my way through the unanswered posts, to gain as much experience as possible. I don't know if you need this any more, but I think I have come up with a solution.

Add the following code and assign the macro to the drop down box.

Option Explicit
Dim CUST_NO As Single


Sub Macro1()
Range("j4").Select
CUST_NO = ActiveCell

Sheets("Sheet B").Select
Cells.Find(What:=CUST_NO, After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt:= _
xlWhole, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False _
).Activate
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Select

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=TODAY()"
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

Hope this helps.
