Data Validation erratic bevavior
Excel 2003, WinXP
I have one list (column), named AllParts, with 47 items on sheet Normal1. I do a Data Validation in a cell in sheet Normal1 with List and "=AllParts". I get the whole list. I do Data Validation, the same, in a cell in sheet Normal2. I get the whole list I do it all again in a cell in the sheet where I want it, call it BadSheet, and all I get is the first 14 items from the list. I reset the range name AllParts to another, completely different list. I go to the cell in BadSheet, clear the Data Validation, redo the Data Validation to =AllParts. I get the same 14 items from the first AllParts list. Is this sheet corrupted or have I lost it? Thanks for your help. Otto |

What does the formula for AllParts (refers to ) look like. Are you using
relative references? they should be absolute. Refersto: =Normal1!$A$1:$A$47 -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy Otto Moehrbach wrote in message ...

Thanks for your reply. The naming of the list is done by code. The code copies/pastes (shorter) lists from several sheets to make one longer list. All this is within a For loop because there are two final lists to be setup and named. Rng.Name = RngName Looking at Insert - Name - select "AllParts", the reference is absolute.

Perhaps you have a sheet level range named AllParts, and a workbook
level range named AllParts. Select BadSheet, choose InsertNameDefine, and see if AllParts shows the sheet name in the list of named ranges. Otto Moehrbach wrote: Tom Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for your response. I checked both lists and both references carry the sheet name. I just renamed the BadSheet something else and then inserted a new blank sheet and rebuilt the Data Validation cells but in the new sheet (without copying anything from BadSheet). All works well. Does this indicate to you that BadSheet is corrupted? Thanks again. Otto "Debra Dalgleish" wrote in message ...

Both references will have the Normal1 sheet name, but if you look at
InsertNameDefine while BadSheet is selected, it may show the BadSheet name at the right side of the Names list: AllParts BadSheet Or, while on BadSheet, select a cell in an empty column, and choose InsertNamePaste. Select AllParts, and click PasteList. See what range is listed for AllParts. Otto Moehrbach wrote: Debra Thanks for your response. I checked both lists and both references carry the sheet name.

I had BadSheet protected off and on while I was having this problem. Looking at it now I don't see that I need to protect the sheet at all, so I haven't used sheet protection on the new sheet. BTW, the problem is there with BadSheet whether or not the sheet is protected. But is there something about Data Validation and sheet protection that can cause sheet corruption? Thanks for your help.
