    Ways to break data validation

    I'm trying to prevent data validation from being overridden or otherwise negated...

    I have found VBA code which protects against:

    Cutting/pasting data
    Copying/pasting data
    The Edit - Clear - All command
    The Edit - Delete command

    Additionally, I am working with a protected sheet so that rows/columns cannot be inserted or deleted. The Data Validation source is also locked and protected against editing.

    I am wondering if there are other ways to "break" the validation. Any thoughts? Or do you think this covers most of my bases?

    Thanks in advance

    Josh

    Depending on how you are achieving these things, they may or may not cover drag and drop. You'll need to test your workbook after you've implemented the protections you've already mentioned.
