if the source range was named and that name was used to create the validation this code: Range("A1").Validation.Formula1 returns the name of the source then you can use it like this: Range(Range("A1").Validation.Formula1).Copy Range("A1").Offset(0, 3) isabelle Le 2013-08-14 16:57, isabelle a écrit : hi Hugh, i made a model using a name for the validation http://cjoint.com/?CHow1NBP9ko isabelle Le 2013-08-14 15:44, a écrit : oSheet.Range("A1").Validation.Formula1 generated the error.

Hi Isabelle,

It looks like that the dropdown List on my file is not named.
I ran your model and irt worked well. and I did see "ValList". I ran my simple code of

string s = oSheet.Range["A1"].Balidation.Formula1;
agaist your file and received "ValList", and received the error message of Formula1 not found. I know that you already helped me a lot, any more suggestions?
