    Visual Basic and Excel

    I am looking for someone who can help me do the following....
    MONEY IS INVOLVED

    PROJECT 1:EXCEL and VBA

    From the developer:
    >
    > > Here is what is in the file:
    > > Step 1 (Issues) - removed Approach and Maturity columns, added
    Priority
    > > column, updated colors and fonts to match new pages
    > > Step 2 (Stakeholder Issues) - created the worksheet, updated the
    Jump To
    > > menu and Main form to go to this worksheet as step 2
    > > Step 3 (Modes and Sectors) - created the worksheet, updated the
    Jump To
    > > menu and Main form to go this worksheet as step 3, updated Step 4's
    Back
    > > button, enabled sorting if you click on the underlined headers
    > > Position Map - I tried putting a listbox in each box to allow for
    > > scrolling. This worked for display, except if you had the Main
    menu
    > > displayed first, it would somehow overlow the listboxes unless you
    > > clicked on Refresh. I haven't been able to track down what this
    Excel
    > > bug is and how to workaround it, so I returned it to the way it
    was.
    > >
    > > I think I included one or two help popups. I'll doublecheck
    tomorrow
    > > and see if I can send some more.
    > >
    > > What needs to be done:
    > > The Prepare_to_publish and Import procedures need to be updated to
    > > populate the new worksheets. The modRecordMaintenance needs to
    update
    > > the new worksheets. The new worksheets need to update the
    Stakeholder
    > > worksheet. This is all of that data integrity stuff that wouldn't
    be
    > > necessary if this was a real database. The Goa/Issue headers on
    the
    > > Sectors and Modes sheet need to be VLookups instead of hardcoded.

    >
    > The code modules are fairly well laid out, so I think a strong
    developer
    > could take over and complete the remaining work. The named ranges
    are
    > also very logical and easy to get a grip on. The steps are just
    rather
    > involved. For example, from the Modes&Sectors page, you need to
    > 1)update any existing stakeholder records (Stakeholder worksheet)
    then
    > 2)insert new stakeholder record rows (stakeholder worksheet) if new
    ones
    > were added then 3) update the list of stakeholders on the
    > StakeholderIssues page. You also need to do error checking like
    > removing empty rows (users might leave those in between data rows),
    and
    > generating an error if the stakeholder name is not entered, but a
    sector

    > like limiting the scrollable area so users can't be adding stuff at
    > random spots on the worksheets. So it's fairly detailed stuff you
    neeed
    > to do for the updates.

    If you make a start and get stuck, post your problem area, you may get a better response

    Asking for someone to completly write your code isn't the intent of the Forum.

    There are avenues if you want to pay someone for there time.
