Please review attached workbook sample for more clarity of my need.
I need a way to validate Customer name entry. Preferably without a userform.
(Will cell validation do what I have described below?)
All existing and correctly spelled unique Customer names are listed in Sheet1.
It seems to me that not allowing periods should simplify some of the headaches.
Also not allowing single or double quotes, no commas, no asterisks, no double spaces between words, no before and after spaces.
I've added buttons to navigate between (Sheet1), which is Customer Names and the (Data sheet)
and I have a button for adding a new Unique customer name to the (Sheet1) list.
As Customer names are entered in the Data sheet in column A, I would like the name to not be acepted if it does not exist in (Sheet1)
If a name does not exist the user should be instructed with a msgbox to navigate to (sheet1), create a new name record,
then go back and reattempt the entry in the Data sheet.
