Default Delete value but not formula


Hi,
I've written a spreadsheet to help with quoting engineering work. In
the section for entering all the spare parts, there are 3 columns for
part no., supplier and description. If the supplier code is 'stock',
then a formula in the description column looks up the part no. in our
stocklist workbook and returns the description of the part. This all
works fine.
If the supplier code isn't 'stock' then the user must enter the
description manually. This overwrites the formula but isn't a problem.
A problem occurs, however, if a non stock item is entered but then
changed to a stock item afterwards. The formula has been overwritten
and so doesn't return the description from the stocklist.
Is there any way to allow the value to be deleted from the cell without
deleting the formula? Or is there a blindingly simple way to do this?!!
