how can I not allow user to remove date from "10/1/2010 9:15 PM" format....current code in cell in date & " " & time. Some user edit the time and in the mean time remove the date and leave only the time which I dont want to happen.

Allow user to change the date and time too but always force user to keep it in 9/1/10 12:30 PM format.

If we can achieve this with the help of data validation then it would be better:
Thanks
