It looks like this relates to a discussion we had a few months back and it seems that I never actually wrote the code to create the data validations then. That means it will take me a couple of days to get this written, tested and posted out to you unfortunately - autumn is a very busy time of year for us as all of the construction projects start, we can get into the woods and many of the sites we maintain are closed to vistors so routine maintenance needs completing before winter arrives. Nevertheless, I will get something to you in two days at the outside.
