Very neat, Dave
-- Regards Roger Govier "Bassman62" wrote in message ... You can achieve this without code by creating the list of weekdays in the cells immediately above entry cell. (The rows containing the list will be hidden) Set data validation for the entry cell to allow a List and set the source as the list of weekdays. Hide the rows containing the list. In Options, "Enable AutoComplete for cell values" must be checked. With AutoComplete enabled, the user will only have to enter the first one or two characters of the day. With Data Validation set, the entry will be limited to the list. A1= Sunday A2= Monday A3= Tuesday A4= Wednesday A5= Thursday A6= Friday A7= Saturday A8: [Entry Cell] (Data Validation= List of $A$1:$A$7) Hope this helps.

Also, how would Tuesday and Thursday be treated? 2 T's to get to Thursday or TH to get Thursday? Thank you, -- Brad E. |
