there is no built in provision for this. You can use events like the change
event, afterupdate, or exit events to have your code check the entry and take
the appropriate action. Just note the change fires on every keystroke.

I have a similar question.
How do you restrict a text or comobox control, on a user form, so that only
certain data can be entered?

For example: I need to protect a cell in a fashion that only a date can
be entered.

I'm having problems with people entering formulas in for the date and I
want to restrict them from doing this (it messes up everything).

Any help would be appreciated

thanks
