Rem You will need 4 list boxes, 2 combo boxes 6 text boxes
Rem 4 lables and 3 command buttons
Rem **** Remember to use the shift+ enter for the actual
Rem *** Data base formula you choose to enter
Rem *** Go to MS Help you forgot about this
Rem *** Make sure every box is filled in
Rem *** Do not put zero values in
Rem *** Put numbers where numbers belong and text
Rem ** where text belongs
Rem ** and lastly this program is far from complete
Rem ** but is better than my original post
VarList1Count = List1.ListCount '
Rem Automate this and allow for many varibles in place of Trees ' etc. Ex. AutoMake Price etc..
' ' you will also want to automate the labels at start up
' ' Via a start new progects dialog of 'course you will have to save all to a file

Rem the greater than sign will move column 3, 4 or 5 with the
Rem users chosen item in the combo box
Rem I am trying to move the > with combo choice
tempv = Combo1.ListIndex + 3 ' Adjust for the indent of the Excel ' Data Table

Rem Note you may not want to format this item
Rem you get a type mismatch error for zero entries ?

Rem Determine the sum of the number under the heading
Rem That which user picks from combo1
Rem on the Excel sheet that would be the sum of the range
Rem B: something ---> vb won't let me insert a colon directly
Rem in somehting like
'
For t = 8 To 8 + List1.NewIndex
