Hi Jim,

Thank you so much - it worked perfectly.

You can try this... Place your cursor in Cell A2. Now highlight the entire
column. Now select
Data|Validation - Custom
In the formula box add
=countif(A:A, A2) = 1

You will probably want to change the error alert message, but at this point
you should be good to go in terms of only allowing unique entries...

In column A I have a series of numbers. How do I keep other users from
entering a number in Column A which is already present in Column A. So, for
example A2 has #3451. Another user enters #3451 in A10. I need a prompt to
let the user know #3451 has already been used.
Thanks in advance.
