Cell input mask
Is there a way to create an input mask for a cell to only allow the entry of
letters or numbers (no symbols)? And if the user enters a symbol, I need to display a message saying "Enter letters and numbers only." Any help will be GREATLY appreciated. |

You cannot check an entry while it is being made. Nor control what the user
can type. After it's entered you can check it. -- Jim "Dan N" wrote in message ... | Is there a way to create an input mask for a cell to only allow the entry of | letters or numbers (no symbols)?

How can the entry be checked after it is entered? Can that be done
automatically? Can I still display a message stating the violation (of entering symbols)? I only need to do this for one cell. Thanks for your response. - Dan N.
