Is there any way to pull text from a target cell to dynamically populate a
comment on another sheet?

I pull data from Sheet1(A:A) and sort it on Sheet4; I'd like the users to be
able to view the data from Sheet1(B:D) on mouseover for just the row they
are looking at; so for example,
Sheet1: A14= "Bob Henderson", B14="Member since 1997", C14="Current dues
paid", D14="Training requirements completed"

When A:A gets sorted onto Sheet4, I just want to show the name (A:A) and
some other fields, but not have B:D visible. However, for some users of the
sheet, they do need that info, and so I was thinking if it was in a comment
they could just mouseover and see it, but it wouldn't show when printed (and
they wouldn't have to hide and unhide columns). I'm ok with concatenating
the values of B14:C14, but haven't figured out a way to get them into a
comment dynamically so they will update when data in Sheet1 is updated.

Is this possible?

(using Excel 2003)

Thanks,
Keith

I too would like to know how to link info from another area in the workbook
to the comments for a cell. Any help is appreciated.....
