Worksheet_Change to stop people copy & pasting into two seperate rows.

[ScottDavies]

Hey guys,

I've read about Worksheet_Change, but I cannot get it to work.

I have Row F with Data Validation active - it requires 11 numbers to be entered
I have row G with Data Validation active - it requires a number of 7000 or above, and appears as a whole number with 2 decimal places (i.e. no currency £, $, etc)

What I want to happen is if someone pastes some data into Row F/G that does not match the Data Validation, an error message to pop up, and not allow them to paste.

I obviously also want them to be unable to manually type any data that does not stick to the Data Validation rules also, and again come up with an error message.

Can it be done?

Any ideas anyone?

AFAIK, if you paste something to a cell with data validation, the data validation will be erased. I don't know how to work around that.
An idea?
Hm, you might consider using combobox instead (embedded in the sheet not in a from) , it gives you more control. But I haven't created the macro yet, still in 'trial & error' phase.
Let me know if you're interested.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Happy to give it a go.
