Cannot create opportunity as closed stage

Hi,

 

I've been trying to create a validation rule to prevent users from creating new opportunities as closed won based on another field. basically I have another field and if they eneter a value in this field I want them to get an error if they try to save it as closed won when the opportunity is new.

 

I tried using create date = NOW and create date = last modified date that does not work. This is the latest version i have:

 

AND(
IsClosed = TRUE,
IsWon = TRUE,
NOT (ISBLANK(Professional_Services__c)),
CreatedDate = NOW()

)

 

And here is another version I tried:

 

AND(
ISPICKVAL(StageName,"Closed Won"),
(NOT(ISNULL(Professional_Services__c))),
 CreatedDate = NOW()

)

 

Any help will be appreciated, just want to prevent them from creating new opptys as closed.

 

Thank you.

No problem, you owe me a beer.  

 

btw - You don't need to evaluate IsClosed when you're testing Wins, IsWon can't be NOT(IsClosed) by default
