How to create Excel Form in Excel 2003

John Walkenbach has an enhanced data form:
http://j-walk.com/ss/dataform/index.htm

And the source code is available for a small fee ($20 USA, IIRC).

And if that's not sufficient, then maybe you could design your own input
userform.

Debra Dalgleish shares some tips:

The second site was helpful, but I am concerned about a comment on John's
page. What did he mean by "which is not even part of the user interface in
Excel 2007". Since I'm working in 2003, will I have problems with 2007?

Very helpful, Thanks. From the posts, I think the form can use code to move
from record to record and probably I can code a find record also.

Data|Form isn't built into the ribbon. But you can add it to the QAT (quick
access toolbar). The QAT is kind of the same thing as a toolbar in xl2003.

I don't think you'd have trouble using John's enhanced data form.

Here are a couple more links:
