Default Working with 2 drop down list

If you name the picklist range you can use it across worksheets.

Also see Debra's page on running code on Change_Events.

I've seen this example but using validation functionality constrains to the
current worksheet or external file that must be open. I couldn't get it to
use a range outside of the current worksheet. I store all my picklist values
on a different worksheet that's why I use the combo box list instead because
it allows to select a range outside of the current worksheet.

Taking this approach, Is there a way to run a sub once validation list#2 is
selected? With this approach, I'dhave to create a button to call the
subroutine...correct?
