Hello All

I have a worksheet that has one column with data validation in place and
some other columns (I and V to AW) with some validation vba code in place.
Everything works fine when data is entered by typing it into the cells, but
neither the dv nor the vba is effective if data is pasted into the cells. Is
there any way I can get round this?

The vba validation code is below (if this helps).

Hope someone can help
Many thanks
Les

Dim prev
Private Const WS_RANGE_PC As String = "I1:I999"
Private Const WS_RANGE_TIME As String = "V2:AW99"

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Application.EnableEvents = False

On Error GoTo ws_exit
