Mark it sounds like you could accomplish this via
a vlookup to bring the age of the customer back to the
movies sheet, and the use an if(age<18,"warning","ok to
rent") or something like that.

The vlookup lets you find an entry in the left hand column
of a database and get an entry on that row.

Being new to Excel and only just getting around
formula's, I would have
no idea about how to write a simple VBA program. I was
told the best
place to go would be this excellent forum (Hint!!!!)...My
problem is
this..

I have a DVD database with three worksheets. First one
is called
Movies, 2nd Customer Info and third customers.

Basically in Movies, I have name of movie and Ratings etc
with cust
name. For instance Rating is in G9:G64), Customer name in
J9:J64..Now
what I want to do is if a customer tries to rent a movie
and it is R18
or R15 depending on Age..The vba would check
sheet3/customers for their
age and date of birth and if that DOB is under 18 a
message would
display that person is under age and not allowed to rent
movie
parse...I have tried Data Validation but that only brings
up message
when something is inputted into a cell, for instance I
tried to create
a cell which linked to DOB and if it brought back under
18 it would
show message but Data validation never worked...Hope this
message is
not too long...:(

Mark
