Use data validation with a custom formula of
=AND(A2<"", B2=A2) -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "patam" wrote in message ...

That was what I was thinking but I was so shocked I couldn't get the words
out. My hands were shaking so much, the keys didn't respond <vbg I apologise unreservedly, for my omission and fully accept liability, and promise to remember to tell everything next time (I have just completed a 12 page answer on adding time for example <ebg).
