Data form - Enhance Excel built-in data-form capability.

When you have more columns of data than can be viewed on the screen, Excel data form provides a convenient means to enter or display one complete row of information in a range or table without scrolling horizontally.
The data form allows us to:

• add new line data
• delete the existing lines
• find the line data containing the data you want to search
• edit the cell data and/or undo the change

Excel data entry form is an excellent data management tool especially for the data table with many columns.
Still There are some aspects to be improved through this discussion.

1. Excel built-in data form capable of maximum 32 columns

Excel data form is limited to the 32 columns and limitations which can be lifted by Custon Data form.

2. The number of columns are unlimited with dynamic Userform control design in conjunction with class module.
