Default Data Validation From Different Workbook

In cell A3 of workbook named €śJob Costs€ť, I have a drop down list referenced
from a different, opened, workbook named €śMaterials€ť. Data Validation on this
cell is; Allow - List, Source €“ (Several lists from workbook €śMaterials€ť such
as Aluminum,Wood).

In cell A4 of workbook €śJob Costs€ť, I would like to create another list that
looks at cell A3 and gives all the items for that chosen category. In Data
Validation, I have tried to use =INDIRECT($A3). This doesnt work unless the
lists (Aluminum, Wood) are in the same workbook.

What am I missing?
