Default create a drop down list with the source from a different workbook

Hi,
I tried to create a drop down list (Data Validation List) with the
source from a different work book (If you type the list in a different
workbook, define a name with an external reference to the list.). I followed
the instructions given in the Microsoft Online Assistant.
Iam not able to create the same as iam a getting a message stating that "You
may not use references to other worksheets or workbooks for Data validation
criteria."
