Hi I have a problem with data validation, I have cells on a worksheet
restricted to a text length of 6 however if someone types AAAAA9 into cell A2
and fils formula down it then puts in AAAAA10,AAAAA11...etc, which is then
invalid data however excel doesn't stop this.

Is there a way to either:
a) make excel validate this, or
b) disable the fill formula function but only for this template.

I am using Excel 2003.
Thanks for any advice you can give me.
