I am using a Microsoft Excel 2000. I am VBA programmer. I am using an excel
custom template as a front-end for my access database. I want to validate
every keystroke done in an excel cell.
Hi Chris,
There's no way to do this in Excel. Have a look at the Data/Validation
menu. This is the feature used in Excel to ensure entries are allowable. It
may look a bit limited at first, but it's quite powerful when you use the
custom option to roll your own validation criteria using worksheet
functions.
Validation occurs as soon as the user hits Enter or does something else
that would complete the cell entry, like trying to tab away from the cell.
If the data entered doesn't pass validation, Excel will display a
configurable error message and prevent the user from leaving the cell until
validation is satisfied or the user cancels the entry.
