Default Cell Restrictions

I have a similar question.
How do you restrict a text or comobox control, on a user form, so that only
certain data can be entered?

down list select the data type you want. On the other tabs you can define how
you would like to handle input errors...

For example: I need to protect a cell in a fashion that only a date can
be entered.

I'm having problems with people entering formulas in for the date and I
want to restrict them from doing this (it messes up everything).

Any help would be appreciated

thanks
