Default Data Validation

Hi,

I'm looking for a bit of help, i would like to limit the max number of
caracters a cell can contain to 15, yes you can do this in data validation
but you can just paste something with greater than 15 caracters into the cell
and it will accept it, it only seems to block typing, thus is there a way to
maybe in an adjacent cell use the formula =len() and then using some
automatic macro say if there is a cell in the adjacent column with a number
over 15 bring up an error message? and get the user to change whats in the
cell, I'm not very good at coding hence i'm sure theres a way but dont know
it,

thanks,

Andy
