Use data validation with a custom formula of

=AND(A2<>"", B2>=A2)

Uncheck the ignore blank box then it worked for me

Doesn't work for me Bob, and I'll be darned ... I can't figure out why or
what else to use?!?!

*Can't* stop B from accepting input when A is blank.

Does it work on your box?

I'm really wondering what you were thinking when you posted the above
(nothing).<g>

You do realize that I would not have made a fool of myself if the responder
would have properly instructed the OP to uncheck the "ignore blank"
box.<gdr>

That was what I was thinking but I was so shocked I couldn't get the words
out. My hands were shaking so much, the keys didn't respond <vbg>

I apologise unreservedly, for my omission and fully accept liability, and
promise to remember to tell everything next time (I have just completed a 12
page answer on adding time for example <ebg>).
