Debra,

I guess when he said "containing a pick list," he meant a validation list,
as you've inferred. And you're probably right. I thought he meant using
Pick from list in the context (right-click) menu.

That's one of the weaknesses of data validation -- users can paste any
value into the cell, and overwrite the validate settings.

Perhaps you could use programming to validate the data.
