    Extend the input data validation message.

    Hi all, is there a way to extend the data validation input message?

    This is annoying because I need to show users whole message and only a part of it, it is displayed.

    Show Longer Messages
    The data validation input message is limited to 255 characters, so the technique show above is subject to that limit too.
    If you need to show longer messages in the text box, you can download the Longer Message sample file, from the Download section, below.
    Good Luck
    I don't presume to know what I am doing, however, just like you, I too started somewhere...
