If I use Content Controls, I can check the box to prevent users from deleting the content control, but they do not have any validation functionality. I could send the data to a VBA sub to do my own validation, but I don't see how I can fire an event after a user changes data in a content control.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

For that you'd use a Document_ContentControlOnExit macro.

Thank you. That is exactly what I decided to do. I am using the Content Controls now instead of the legacy text boxes. And I am using the OnExit event to validate the controls. I wrote my own validation subs.

Thanks,

David
