Default How can i stop same data being repeated in a column

I have a list of contract numbers relating to application numbers or
payments. they are in the format nnnnnnan or nnnnnnpn. The columns are fixed
to this format only. If they are entered with the a or p in the wrong place
or if they have been left out completely an error message will appear to
alert the user. I want to know how to alert the user if they enter an
application or a payment number that has already been entered.
ie if they enter 022079a4 but that same application has been entered else
where in the column.
Hope you can help
