Data Validation only applies to input made by the user, with the
keyboard and mouse. It doesn't apply to changes made by VBA code.
You'd have to write your own validation routine in the form
itself.

what's the preferred way to use data validation with an input
form? if data is entered directly into a cell, validation
works, if i use an input form, it allows any entry.
