How to Open Data Entry Form with VBA
Your users might not even know about the Form button’s existence, and that’s where VBA can be used. It is like giving them a secret map that leads them directly to the form.
Assuming the Current sheet has a table, you need just a single code line to open the form :
Sub OpenDataEntrtyForm()
ActiveSheet.ShowDataForm
End Sub
However, there is a crucial caveat- the above code only works if either:
Your table begins in A1 or
There is a name “Database” referring to your table( a defiend name, not a table name).
Sub OpenDataEntryForm()
Dim nName As Name
Range(“B2”).CurrentRegion.Name = “database”
ActiveSheet.ShowDataForm
For Each nName In ActiveWorkbook.Names
If “database”= nName.Name Then nName.Delete
Next nName
End SubS
