Prevent user from using Name
I am wondering if there is a way to prevent a user from typing in an
Employee's name. example.. On the left there is a list for Request offs. On the near right, there is a list of DAY employees with their times. On the far right, there is also a list, but of NIGHT employees with their times. If a user types JEFF in the Request off section, and his name is listed in the DAY employees section, I want to highlight his name to notify the user that this Employee has been scheduled when they are not supposed to work. Is there a way? Also, the list of DAY and NIGHT enployees are used with a Drop Down menu. Since I know some formulas don't work well when another formula is used. |

I want to highlight his name
At which location? The DAY employees list or the cell where a user enters that name? -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Matlock" wrote in message ...
