Yes the data is accepted and yes error alert is turned on, it doesn't seem
to be anything simple.

The error alert may be turned off:

Select the cells that have data validation.
Choose DataValidation
On the Error Alert tab, add a check mark to 'Show error alert
after invalid data is entered
Click OK

heavily ladden with vb that is triggered by events.

The settings appear correct I have double checked.
If the named range exists and the validation settings are correct is
there
some other way that validation can be accidently turned off or is this
workbook somehow corrupt? Has anyone else experienced this problem?
