Hi,
I have a spreadsheet with 2 worksheets, products and orders. I also have a form for new orders. Basically I want the stock level on the products page to be updated when the order is placed. Even if you can't help with the coding side I would be interested to know how you think I should go about solving the problem I have.

Thanks

IMO, the easiest way would be to name the specific ranges in the spreadsheet.

For example, if you had the following table:

Product	Stock
Shampoo	15
Soap	13

I would name the cell with the number 15 in it something like "ShampooStock" and the cell with the number 13 in it something like "SoapStock".

Then, whenever an order is placed, you access the sheet and the named range like:

VB

Worksheets("Products").Range("ShampooStock") = Worksheets("Products").Range("ShampooStock") - NumberOrdered
