what macro (or fomula) can I use to add data, to the next empty cell in a collum in another sheet

I have just registred to this forum, and have looked through a lot of postings allready, but have stopped searching before I'm at page 350..........

Can someone help me with this:
I am looking for a (formula or) macro that (with the push on a "button") automaticaly copies the new input from the sheet that I work on to the next empty cell in a collum on another sheet (same document)
I use macro's and buttons all the time but cannot yet trick the OOOprogram to do this action

In this way I like to fill in, for instance, an address record form on sheet one with new data, and end up with list of all input neatly distributed over the next row on the next sheet.

My sister had programmed me such a macro in Excel (she is an Excel pro) but this naturaly does not work in OOO (of which she knows nothing....)

Thanks Villeroy, for this answer, I have been searching for a while allready, and even with your suggested search help, I still have no lead to a solution of this question.
So if you dont mind, do I like to wait for a more direct help.

In the meantime am I looking through the JAVA programmers manual to see for a "background" solution

Do us all a favour and use Excel.

Open a new Calc document. In Sheet2 cell A1 type "Input Data". In any cell in Sheet1 type new data and, with that cell still active, run the macro below.

Thank you JohnV,

This works!, This is a fast step in the good direction for my project.

I hardly dare to ask, but could this macro be extended to copy a row to the next empty row in another sheet? (always starting in column A)

Incase you should need help with some thing from my hobby, I will do the most to help you. (see www button)
