Help figuring out how someone did something on a worksheet...

Hello,

On a spreadsheet at work, the prior person has it set up so in
certain specific cells, you can only enter certain specific values
(ie, ones from a list which is in another sheet, etc.) Otherwise a
msgbox pops up, and you get put back in the cell. But I cannot figure
out how he did it-- I look through the visual basic projects and it
seems as if no code has been added anywhere there. Could it be done
some other way? It is frustrating because it seems like just magic,
ie, there is no indication anywhere that this feature even exists
until you violate it!

Thanks very much in advance for any insight.

Hi SA

That would be Data Validation from the Data menu (once the cell(s) in
question is selected that is). Yes, it's pretty neat.

HTH. Best wishes Harald
