    Cannot get Data Validation to override a macro driven cell.

    Hi, I have the following code:

    ]

    However, this is like a default arrangement and I will occasionally be required to override
    some of the settings such as "square" to "round". Can this be written in a macro?

    Thanks
    brad

    Re: Cannot get Data Validation to override a macro driven cell.

    Too vague. Explain what conditions constitute when and when not to override. Those specifics are what would be added to the code.
    Surround your VBA code with CODE tags e.g.;
    [CODE]your VBA code here[/CODE]
    The # button in the forum editor will apply CODE tags around your selected text.

    Thanks for reply,

    Basically, its customer driven and sometimes they want product which deviates from a "default" setting, I thought maybe there was a method via VBA where I could activate a "default" response but with the
    option to override with data validation, which is already in the cells, If the necessity arose.
