Hi Ronan, You're probably right on that one to be honest. I need to find a web-based way of doing this job but haven't done so as yet.

Hi Donal, Without knowing all your needs, here is my first suggestion! If the two sheets contain the same data and are only sorted differently, would it be safer to just have one sheet and enter all your data in that and re-sort as necessary, given that re-sorting is usually simplanks for the quick response, e? The reason I suggest this, is that I have found that if try to keep two different things in sync, there is always a danger of them drifting apart.
