Default Data Validation error message

Hi,

I have set up a data validation to include a drop down box of a list of yes
or no on my question. I have also set up a conditional format to color the
box in if the answer is no. however I'm having trouble getting the error
message box to flag up if they select no. I thought I would take no out of
the drop down box as one of the options, however I would really like to leave
'no' in as a choice and have the error message flag up and have the box
coloured red.

I would also like to have a formula set up whereby if say cell C1 is empty
then to take out the information in cell A1.

Can you help???

Kind regards,
Peggy
