Hello,

How would I allow someone to put an 'x' in one of two cells but not in
both?

Also, as there would need to be an 'x' in one of the two cells only if
there were text in a different cell, is there a way to indicate the
need for the 'x' should text be inserted but the 'x' omitted?

Clear as mud huh?

Thanks

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeRightClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As
Boolean)
If Union(Range("$A:$A"), Target).Address = Range("$A:$A").Address Then
With Selection.Font
.Name = "Webdings"
End With
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "r"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
End If
Cancel = True

If Union(Range("$B:$B"), Target).Address = Range("$B:$B").Address Then


With Selection.Font
.Name = "Webdings"
End With
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "r"
ActiveCell.Offset(0, -1).Range("A1").Select
Selection.ClearContents
End If

End Sub


Here's a macro I just recorded, using macro recorder then inserted the
code into the worksheet module

right click on the sheet tab and select view codes
there will be a box with the word (GENERAL)
hit the arrow to select worksheet
copy and paste the above code into that worksheet module

Now right click a cell in column A or B and a x mark will show in one
of the cells

The simple way is to use conditional format on the two 'X' cells,
specify two conditions, (assuming text in A1, and x in B1 or C1)

for cell B1 - conditional format Formula=
=AND(A1="",B1="x")
set cell colour to red, and a second condition
=AND(C1="x",B1="x")
set cell colour to red

for cell C1, almost the same
=AND(A1="",C1="x")
set cell colour to red, and
=AND(C1="x",B1="x")
set cell colour to red

The other way is to use VBA code.

Thanks for your help.

Now I have a new problem: all but the security option in Tools/Macro is
faded out no matter which security setting is used.

Help a noob(ish) out please!
