Default Make excel stop if the date cell is blank

I am making an order form template for a customer and I have the template
protected and am using the validation setting if they try to use anything but
the current date plus one, i.e. today or tomorrow. But I need Excel to stop
and make them enter the date if they leave it blank. I have been unable to
figure out how to make it stop and display an error message for a blank cell.
I have the "ignore blank" unchecked but it will still allow the user to skip
the cell and not ener anything. I know in Access you can setup a field rule
to disallow blank entries. Is there a way to do this in Excel. If I use a
formula, when they enter data into the cell, it is going to erase the
formula. I may need a macro or something else. I am willing to experiment and
try just about anything.
