Default VB Data Validation check - apologies for incorrect post

Hi all,
I am trying to find a way to check if a data validated cell contains invalid
data.

I know I can conditionally format it and that I can set Excel to Circle
Invalid Data but I want to check the validation status in VBA.

I was hoping that the following statement would return TRUE if the data was
invalid but it doesn't ..

mycell = activecell.Errors.Item(xlListDataValidation).value

I suppose another way would be to tell when Excel has circled the invalid
data. I know the command

activesheet.CircleInvalid

enables this but for the life of me, I can't find a property in
cells.validation that reflects the status.

Anyone have any ideas?

Grateful thanks as always!

Bony
