Hi Chad,

If the cell you want to refer to has only numeric data in it, you can bookmark the entire table, then use a formula to reference the
cell. I think your users would be much less likely to delete such a bookmark - unless they delete the entire table.

As an example, say you select the table and bookmark it as 'MyTable'. You could then reference cell C1 from that table via a formula
field coded as {=SUM(MyTable C1)}. You can use the same technique to replicate data across tables and to perform maths on data in
the tables from outside the tables concerned.

Cheers

Thanks. I eventually found the bookmark&REF combination. However, I found it
is easy to lose the bookmarks. Any suggestions of how to protect them?

data from a particular cell in the table. How do I do that?
