Default restricting use of certain characters

Hi,

I'd like to know how to restrict entry of certain characters (those that
windows won't allow when naming a file, particularly the / sign)

EG, the person may want to enter 07/77147 into a cell and I want either a
message to appear saying the / is invalid or, with an option for the / to be
automatically changed to a -.

Is this possible?

Rob
