Default Worksheet Function

Hi,
I have a work sheet that cell A1 requires you to enter a date in the
following format DD/MM/YYYY.
What I would like is if a date is entered into that cell that is not a
working day (i.e. Weekend or Bank Holiday) then I would like excel to either
display an error message or make some sort of error sound.....
Is this possible?
Many Thanks,
Glenn Robertson

Look at data validation in XL Help.

For instance, with A1 active, choose Data/Validation and enter


Allow: Custom
Formula: =WEEKDAY(A1,2)<=5
