Updating form responses from one sheet to another - excel

Question

I created a data entry form in Excel.
I would like that input to be stored in another sheet (Table format).
Code I found online and modified:
Function ValidateForm() As Boolean
SellerSKU.BackColor = vbWhite
Description.BackColor = vbWhite
ValidateForm = True
If Trim(SellerSKU.Value) = "" Then
MsgBox "SKU can't be left blank.", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "SKU"
SellerSKU.BackColor = vbRed
SellerSKU.Activate
ValidateForm = False
ElseIf Trim(Description.Value) = "" Then
MsgBox "Description can't be left blank.", vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "Description"
Description.BackColor = vbRed
Description.Activate
ValidateForm = False
End If
End Function
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
SellerSKU.Value = ""
SellerSKU.BackColor = vbWhite
Description.Value = ""
Description.BackColor = vbWhite
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim iRow As Long
iRow = Sheets("Reference Sheet (Order Hist)").Range("A1048576").End(xlUp).Row + 1
If ValidateForm = True Then
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Reference Sheet (Order Hist)")
.Range("A" & iRow).Value = SellerSKU.Value
.Range("C" & iRow).Value = Description.Value
End With
Call Reset
Else
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Exit Sub
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
When I hit "Enter" on the data entry form, the table on the other sheet does not get updated.
Also is it possible to clear the form every time an entry has been successfully made?

This worked for me. Re-organized and removed some of the repetition...
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim iRow As Long, valErrors As String
valErrors = ValidationErrors() 'checks the form
If Len(valErrors) = 0 Then
'no errors - add the data
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Reference Sheet (Order Hist)")
iRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1
.Range("A" & iRow).Value = SellerSKU.Value
.Range("C" & iRow).Value = Description.Value
End With
ResetForm 'Call keyword is deprecated...
Else
MsgBox "One or more errors in form entries:" & vbLf & vbLf & valErrors, _
vbOKOnly + vbExclamation, "Check form data"
End If
End Sub
'check the form and return a listing of any errors
Function ValidationErrors() As String
Dim msg As String
CheckNonBlank SellerSKU, "SKU can't be left blank.", msg
CheckNonBlank Description, "Description can't be left blank.", msg
ValidationErrors = msg
End Function
'utility sub - check if a control has text, flag as error if missing,
' and add some text to the overall validation message
Sub CheckNonBlank(cntrl As Object, msgErr As String, ByRef msg As String)
Dim isErr As Boolean
isErr = Len(Trim(cntrl.Value)) = 0 'true if no content
ErrorFlag cntrl, isErr
If isErr And Len(msgErr) > 0 Then
msg = msg & IIf(Len(msg) > 0, vbLf, "") & msgErr 'append this error
End If
End Sub
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
ResetForm
End Sub
'clear textboxes and any error flags
Sub ResetForm()
SellerSKU.Value = ""
ErrorFlag SellerSKU, False
Description.Value = ""
ErrorFlag Description, False
End Sub
'flag a control as having a problem (pass False to second parameter to clear flag)
Sub ErrorFlag(cntrl As Object, Optional HasError As Boolean = True)
cntrl.BackColor = IIf(HasError, vbRed, vbWhite)
End Sub
