hi am using forms (under data menu) for data entry...is there anyway to increase width of text boxes or make data feilds "2 rows high" instead of 1 as makes easier to enter details if adding long descriptions..?
thanks
Andy

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Do you know how to use the forms in VBA, you can design your own form and have the boxes as big as you want.

Hi Andy.
As far as I know, you cannot do that with the forms.
Useing Userform is the better way as jamienwood said.

When in excel hit ALT-F11 to start VBA,
goto INSERT and select USERFORMS,
if you dont see your tool box, goto VIEW and select TOOLBOX,
there you can insert boxes and set them to whatever size you want

Howdy,

I'll send you a VBA training thing I have. It shows you how to design etc. Make sure you follow the instructions at the beginning to the letter
