I have a routine that creates a new copy of a worksheet and then the user inputs data through drop down boxes. In zip code, I have the cell with data validation linked to a named list of zip codes. However, one can enter anything in the dialog box and it will input it into the zip code cell. After the routine for dialog boxes runs and you go back to the cell for zip codes, data validation works.

How can I make it so that data validation will work when entering data from a dialog box?

Thanks,
Ron

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Thanks for the reply. Sorry, it is an input box not a dialog box... so how do I use data validation with an input box?
