Hi All

Im new to the world of advanced Excel so I think I have kind of bit of more than I can chew. Never the less I'm a driven person hence why I haven't thrown in the towel on this project. I have tried multiple codes and viewed tutorials but im struggling to grasp the excel language.

At the moment I am in the middle of creating a tender database where my Manager will be able to view Tenders, Enter New Tenders, Add potential suppliers, Add other potential products and view upcoming tenders for renewal.


I've created a homepage and added 5 Command Buttons each relates to view Tenders, Enter New Tenders, Add potential suppliers, Add other potential products and view upcoming tenders for renewal.

I've been working on this DB for a few weeks and I am struggling to a write a code where to make these Text boxes, combo boxes, userforms work how I want them to work. Because I have 5 spread sheets I needed to find a way to make each tender unique and so I figured a TenderID code which will automate every time a New Tender is added to the database would be the link between each worksheet.

Each CB opens userforms where they all have multiple Text boxes and combo boxes.


Example:
View Tenders - this is will be a view only user form. The Tender info will be called up by entering the TenderID and clicking on the Command Button (Click to View Tender).

Userform Name: Tender Info
Text boxes: 17 and 1 Combo box - the info will be held in worksheet 3 (Tenders). The worksheet will contain 19 columns where 2 columns will be listed in one text box.
Text Boxes: 2 - the info will be held in worksheet 4 & 5 (Add potential suppliers and Add other potential products ) each worksheet containing 7 columns. The issue I have with this is that there will be more than one supplier, contact and email and more than one Product ID and description per tender.

Command Button: 2 (Click to view Tender & Close Tender Info

I also would like to add one more feature and that is a PDF attachment which is shown on the userform when the info is called up and can be opened.

I would use Access but I'm not authorize to use it so Access is unavailable to me.

I would be grateful if someone can give me some advice.

Much appreciated
Fran

P.S im working in 2010 excel.
