Custom Excel Visual Basic Application – Project Review – Meeting Services Request Form

A local utilities company has been managing meeting room requests across multiple campuses on a regular basis.  Their method for organizing and working with these requests was a manual, time intensive process with many user errors throughout.

In other words, when you check the box you can assign one value, but when you un-check the box you assign another value.
