I need have made a "form" page that I would like to be linked to a database for this information. Nothing seems to be working to move the info I enter on the form into a saved database. Is there anyone willing to work with me on this? I am totally out of my league here with excel. Could I send someone the form to look at and see what I'm missing??

HELP
 
If don't know how much data you are talking about?
If you want to use Excel see this page

See the last example
"Example If the Database sheet is in another workbook"

Thanks for the quick reply, but you're way over my head with that info. Maybe I need to be more specific. Bare with me.

I contact prospective clients for my business and need to track contact info (name, phones, time called, etc.)

When they call in, I need to quickly access their information. So, I made up a single page form on excel for all the information for just one contact that I normally need to view. What I want excel to do is when a new person calls in, I would like to pull up this "Contact" single person page, enter the appropriate info for that person and then have that info transferred to a permanent database for later retrieval and review, back onto that one page form. Seems like this all should be an easy task but excel just has more options than I have brain cells. Is there a service that would be willing to set something like this up?
