Default Pop Up box

Hi Randy,

You can do this with Data | Validation. Just select row 2, select Data |
Validation, then select Custom and enter this formula:

=COUNTIF($2:$2,"=" & A2)=1

Under the Error Alert tab, you can enter the error message you'd like
displayed when users enter bad data. Unfortunately, copying/pasting will
destroy the data validation, so this will not stop someone from
copying/pasting data onto row 2.
