I am working on way to add items to a data validation list box.
I kind of got it sorted out by adding to top of the list box "ADD NEW"
and when that selection is made Use a user form to add a new entry and resize the named range.

but not sure how to detect on a worksheet change event to determine if the cell has data validation.
Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Here is a little reusable function that will determine if a cell has data validation:
VBA Code:
Function HasDataValidation(ByVal Cell As Range) As Boolean
    Dim eRes As XlDVType
    On Error Resume Next
    eRes = Cell.Validation.Type
    HasDataValidation = Not CBool(Err.Number)
End Function

Use it like this :
MsgBox HasDataValidation(Range("A1"))
