    First, the attached is very basic; I leave the addition of bells and whistles to you (such as labels on the userform telling users what's required).
    For others not wishing to download/open the attachment, the solution comprises a userform called userfom1 with a Date &Time Picker called DTPicker1 and a command button called CommandButton1 with the caption OK.
    Then there's an activex command button on the worksheet called CommandButton1. The code in the worksheet module is:
    [vba]Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    CheckColumnC
    End Sub

    Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim myRange As Range
    Set myRange = Intersect(Columns(3), Target)
    If Not myRange Is Nothing Then CheckARange myRange
    End Sub
    [/vba] and code in the userform module:
    [vba]Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    UserForm1.Hide
    cll.Value = Me.DTPicker1.Value
    Unload Me
    End Sub
    Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
    Me.DTPicker1.Value = cll.Value
    End Sub
    [/vba] and the entire code of a standard code module:
    [vba]Public cll As Range 'this line must be in the Declarations part (the top) of the module.

    Sub CheckColumnC()
    Set myRange = Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange, Columns(3))
    CheckARange myRange
    End Sub

    Sub CheckARange(theRange)
    For Each cll In theRange.Cells
    Set xxx = Range("Offdays").Find(cll.Value)
    If Not xxx Is Nothing Then
    cll.Select
    UserForm1.Show
    End If
    Next cll
    End Sub
    [/vba]Since it is its own data validation, you can lose the cell Data Validation because it becomes messy with two mechanisms checking data.
    Column E in the attachment is not needed, lose it, it was just there to show me whether dates were valid or not.
    It's rough and ready but should give you the Any ideas? you wanted.

    Everyone: If I've helped and you can't be bothered to acknowledge it, I can't be bothered to look at further posts from you.
