Default Finding negative numbers quickly

Good day all,
I have looked at various "find" posts on the news group but cannot find an
example of what I am trying to achieve.
Basic history (simplified) is a purchasing, sales and inventory spreadsheet
(PSI).

When a user closes the spreadsheet they are in, I would like my vba app to
check for any negative numbers in the entire sheet called "PSI" and abort
the save/close if one is found. As some of the fields are entered values and
some are calculations it is a bit tricky. Also as some of the formulas have
minus signs in them you cannot just search for -

At this stage I use conditional formating to highlight negatives and I can't
use data valadation due to the calculations.
I know that I could check every cell to see if its value is less than zero
but it seems there must be a smarter way.

In summary
On file close check to see if any numbers ( entered or calculated) are less
than zero

Thanks in advance
Ian Parker
