I am working in excel and need to have a warning when information previously
keyed is being duplicated in the same colums.  Example:  column B is always
ticket numbers.  I want excel to warn me if while keying in column B I key
the same number in a different cell.  I want this restricted to certain
columns not the entire workbook.
