Thanks Dave! That works, but only for the first cell. Why isn't it copying
for the rest of the range (from N4 down)?

Thanks!

So the list is in a different workbook, right?

If that's true, then I'd start he

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim Master As String
Dim TransClustFile As String
Dim myRng As Range
Dim myMasterName As String
Dim myListName As String

Master = "book1.xls"
TransClustFile = "Book2.xls"

myMasterName = "ResponseList"
myListName = "myList"

With Workbooks(Master).Worksheets("ResolutionCodesEN")
'in case the range can grow
Set myRng = .Range("A1", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))
myRng.Name = "ResponseList"
End With

With Workbooks(TransClustFile).Worksheets("sheet1")
.Names.Add Name:="MyList", _
RefersTo:="='" & Master & "'!" & myMasterName

With .Range("N4", .Cells(.Rows.Count, "N").End(xlUp))
With .Validation
.Delete
.Add Type:=xlValidateList, _
AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, _
Operator:=xlBetween, _
Formula1:="=" & myListName
.IgnoreBlank = True
.InCellDropdown = True
.InputTitle = ""
.ErrorTitle = "Error"
.ErrorMessage = "Please select from the drop down menu"
.ShowInput = True
.ShowError = True
End With
End With
End With

End Sub

I tried that, but I'm still getting an error. Perhaps you can see where I'm
going wrong?

Windows(Master).Activate
Sheets("ResolutionCodesEN").Select
Range("A1").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Names.Add Name:="ResponseList",
RefersToR1C1:="=ResolutionCodesEN!R1C1:R16C1"
Sheets("BranchEN").Select
Windows(TransClustFile).Activate

'Inserts drop down list for New Resolution Code
Range("N4").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
With Selection.Validation
.Delete
.Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _
xlBetween, Formula1:="=ResponseList"

Is there a reason you don't put the list in a range on a worksheet?

Hello,

I'm trying to create a combo list in Excel with the following VBA code, but
it cuts off after only eight lines. Any suggestions?

Columns("N:N").Select
With Columns("N:N")
Selection.Locked = False
.Validation.Delete
.Validation.Add xlValidateList, , , "Example 1, Example 2, Example
3, Example 4, Example 5, Example 6, Example 7, Example 8, Example 9, Example
10, Example 11, Example 12, Example 13, Example 14"
Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
End With

Unfortunately it also cuts off some lines (here listed as "Example X") which
are long. Is there a character limit? I can't find any reference to one, but
I'm not sure why else it would cut off?

Thanks!
