I've serached for about an hour so far and couldn't find an answer.
This may be a far stretch, so here goes.

I have a cell (B2) that is for entering data. I would like to have
another
cell (say B4)house a formula (or vb script, or ???) that

=IF(B1=""=AND(B2=""), 'leave B2 alone' , 'put a "#" character in cell
B2')
and only if B3 is blank as well

Thank you in advance..

Not holding my breath


To the best of my knowlwge you cannot have one cell change another
without entering a formula into the cell to be changed.
=IF(B1&B2&B3="", "#","" will put a number chracter into the cell it
is entered in as long as cells B1:B3 are empty. If you put this
formula in cells B1, B2 or B3 you will get a "circular reference" error
and it will not work. It will work well if you put it into another cell
for example A1.
