Norman, I think what you need here is some hyperlinks. In a cell, hit CTRL+K to get he hyperlinks dialog and you'll find that you can link not only to websites, but also to other files on your PC AND to other places in your current workbook. If you use multi-sheet workbooks a lot, you might want to download my free Excel add-in which automates hyperlinking.

I have one DATASHEET that all the other worksheets read from. Each worksheet is for an individual customer. I wish to create a drop down menu, on a front page incorporating all of the customers listed with a link to call up whichever customer worksheet I need at any time. I must be using the wrong phraseology as I am unable to locate this in the help files, but I know the best help comes from the group. Many thanks in advance Norman West ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
