Peruse the Data Validation secions of Debra Dalgleish's Contextures website
and see if they help you identify your problem.

http://www.contextures.com/xlDataVal01.html

Also check the Dynamic Range section of that same site:

Does that help?

Ok...now we know exactly how the esteemed Ms. Dalgleish did it...but still
have no specifics on your attempts.

What sheet name contains your list?
What cells in that sheet contain the list?
Is your Data Validation cell on another sheet?
What EXACT steps are you employing to create the Data Validation?
(include: your inputs to the parameters)
Did any of your approaches ever work?
