Being honest. No I wasn't really keen on learning to use VBA at this point in time. About to start a new job and was wanting to build a little database before starting and just trying to work out the fastest and most effective way of achieving my desired outcome.

Whats your recommendation? have a drop down list for legal requirement + worker for example that at leasts shows the requirements and when I click on anything in the drop down it takes me to another separate excel document with all the information and associated links for the listed legislation?

Again you've been so much help mate (you and sandy)
