Make the list values in the other tab into a named range...

Select the cell that you want to make into a list.
On the formula bar where you see the cell address type in 'MyList' (without
the quotes) and hit enter.

Now on your other sheet when asked to supply the list just type in =MyList

Any suggestions?
