Hi,

First I'll tell you what I'm trying to do: I'm trying to make an online order 
form that my clients can download (as an excel sheet) and type in their order, 
then email back to me. Now, I'm using a spreadsheet format that is supposed to 
be idiot-proof so that the customers only have to enter the product code into 
the order form, then type in the quantity of that particular product they want 
as well as their personal information and no other need to fill in anything 
else - it'll be automatic. 

I've built a database of all of my products but I'm having trouble getting DGET 
to grab from it. I'm getting an ERROR 518.  What I'm trying to do is have the 
customer type in the code and have an automatic fill on the Type, Flavor, and 
Price fields of the order form. The code fields in the order form are vertical, 
and the Type, Flavor and Price fields are horizontal to the code fields. I 
didn't want to have the database on the same page as the order form, so I put 
it on an attached sheet of the spreadsheet; does this cause part of my problem?

I'm starting to get frustrated by this and that takes a lot. If you know of 
another way to do this I'd be pleased to give it a try. If you know what I'm 
doing wrong, please let me know that too. If there is a way around that error, 
then that would be great news. I'll still keep messing with it, but I think 
I've done about as much damage as I can take.

Two other things that I would like to do: have the sheet automatically date the 
order form when the customer opens it, and have it create a order number 
automatically.  Any ideas?

Thanks for your time. I really love your software, too!
