Default drop-down list with external data source

Hi,
I am trying to create drop-down list, which source data are in different
workbook and data of list will be changing.
so i created name "ano" that refers to area in my data workbook (link used:
=data_pro_eliminaci.xls!_anone).
data_pro_eliminaci.xls is my data workbook
_anone is name of area in data workbook I want to refer to.
When I am trying to make drop down list I refer to name "ano".
Drop down menu is working normaly this way, items are the same like in data
workbook an they are changing according to changes in data workbook.

Problem is, when I close data workbook, drop down menus are death, without
any data.
Any idea how to solve this?
