Validation Object error
 

I want to read the Formula1 property of a validation object of the cell Target.
Target.Validation.Formula1 produces an "Application-defined or
object-defined error" if Target don't have a validation rule.
How cant I check whether a validation list is defined?

Validation Object error
 

Something like this:

Sub AABB()
Dim s As String
Set target = ActiveCell
s = ""
On Error Resume Next
s = target.Validation.Formula1
On Error GoTo 0
If s < "" Then
MsgBox s
Else
MsgBox "No validation"
End If
End Sub

Uff, not very elegant coding.
Anyway thank you very much for the hint.

If target.Validation.Value = True Then
target.Validation.Formula1
End If

I would disagree.

Let's see your elegant approach.

That seems to return true for every cell (whether they have validation or
not) except cells that have validation and the value in the cell doesn't
match the validation criteria.

Thank you for the answer but it does not solve my problem:
The Value property is TRUE even if there is no validation rule defined.
"Help" says: TRUE if all the validation criteria are met (that is, if the
range contains valid data)

None found so far.
I will (heavyheartedly) use your code.
No offence! Have a nice day!
