Default Edit problem for data validation drop down list

You need to go into the Names dialog (Ctrl-F3) and extend the refersto
value.

Why not use a dynamic range, then you never change it again

=OFFSET($M$1,,,COUNT($M:$M),1)

Hi
I've created named dropdown lists for data validation which are on a
separate
worksheet. They worked fine until I tried to add to them. For example I
have
a list named 'Years', which I have added a few years to. I can't seem to
redefine the name 'Years' to include the extra items. I've tried
highlighting
the whole list and renaming it 'Years' but it just reverts to the old
section
of the list. I can't change the source range in the Data - Validation box,
as
this shows the list name, not the souce range. Anyone know how I do this?
Thanks
Karen
