I do exactly what you want with 3 combo boxes.
combo1 is the main and determines what goes in combo2
combo2 thencontrols what goes in combo3

Where you are going wrong is that you need to use the
Click event not the change event

If you name the picklist range you can use it across
worksheets.

Also see Debra's page on running code on Change_Events.

I've seen this example but using validation

all my picklist values
on a different worksheet that's why I use the combo box
list instead because
it allows to select a range outside of the current
worksheet.

Taking this approach, Is there a way to run a sub once
validation list#2 is
selected? With this approach, I'dhave to create a button
to call the
subroutine...correct?
