ok, probably could also be posted in one of the visual basic groups
but, I will start here. I have a very large Word table I use to track
projects, 4 simple columns (great responses here for color codeing and
adding new rows). I prefer not to keep the document open all day and
would like to create a very simple visual basic form that I could use
to update the table, the VB form would stay on my desktop. While
creating the form is not and issue, the VB code to update the table is
beyond my capabilities.

Thanks
