Here we go...

I have a workbook with 5 sheets

Sheet one is the input sheet where I want to put the data.

Sheets 2-5 have worksheets in where I want the data from sheet One to be copied.

The data entered into sheet One could be text or numbers and I just want them to be automatically populated into the correct cells on sheets 2-5

Or is there a different way of doing this.....?

Here's how you'd get the value from 'Input Sheet' Order No. to 'Order Ack' order no. as an example.

= 'Input Sheet'!D3:E3

The easiest way to do this is go to the cell you want to populate, hit =, then select the cell where you want to get the data.

Do you have MS Access? That would be even easier in the long run for this type of application. You would enter the data into a single sheet and could manipulate it anyway you wanted.Hope this helps.
