Maybe the 2nd formula should read as:
=IF(AND(G7<(TODAY()-15),I7="yes"),"OK","contract required")

i.e. I7="yes" instead of just: I7=yes
(Without the double quotes, yes would be interp'd as a defined name)

can anyone tell me why this formula works
=IF(AND(G7<(TODAY()-15),I7=TRUE),"OK","contract required")

but this one doesn't

=IF(AND(G7<(TODAY()-15),I7=yes),"OK","contract required")

it's driving me mad...

thanks!
