Define a name (Menu:InsertNameDefine...) Name: list Refers to: =DataValWb.xls!CustName Then use Validationtab Settings, Allow:List, Source: =list Ola Source: http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal05.html -- olasa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ olasa's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=17760 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=378975 |
