ArviLaanemets - I think this idea might work for what I need. I could do the same thing, but in some columns off to the side that are hidden. I realized you could do a pic of a table, but didn't realize you could update it.

p45cal - I didn't really follow what you were suggesting. I used to write my Scope of Works in Word and then crunch the numbers in Excel. I then learned that I would occasionally miss something. So now I write the SOW in Excel, and ensure I have some type of associated cost next to each line. (What you guys didn't see is there is a number of columns to the right of SOW that has all my calculaions and take off data in it.) The client doesn't see this info. This process ensures that I covered everything and if something get's changed, the cost and description are right there next to each out.

Based on a further explantion, do you think a database and entry form is a better wayto go?
