    Data Validation & Worksheet_change

    I am trying to use data validation to restrict users to a list of people's
    names, which is contained in range somewhere in the file. However, I'd like
    the user to enter a different name if they really want to. If they do, I've
    got to intercept it, validate it, and then add it into the list for future
    reference in the data validation. I've changed the Data Validation to not
    create an immediate error alert.

    My approach to this was within the Worksheet change event.
    Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Not (Intersect(Target, Range("lstLaborInputName")) Is Nothing) Then
    If Target.Validation.Value = False Then
    'code to validate and add to valid to list
    End If
    End If
    End Sub
    Where the first IF statement decides whether the change took place in the
    area I want to evaluate.

    However, the Target.Validation.Value is always returning true, regardless of
    what is entered when I make the change.

    Here's the wierd part, though, if I undo what I typed and the cell is still
    "invalid", the code triggers. If the undo value is valid, it doesn't, i.e.
    the code seems to work fine.

    Does using the Data Validation dropdown not trigger a worksheet change
    event? I can't find any references to that,

    Any ideas?
