Default custom validation

When a cell is equal to *.0000 I want there to be a warning. So for instance
if A1 was 711200.0000 there should be an error but if it was 711200.4720.197
or just 711200.4720 it should not give an error. Thanks!

=RIGHT(A1,5)<".0000"

I tried that but it doesn't work, any other ideas? Could it be because of
cell formatting?

tjb,

Use the custom formula:

=MID(A1,FIND(".",A1)+1,4)<"0000"
