Default Data Validation between open Workbooks

I have a several lists in WorkbookA that is has a name range assign to each
list. WorkbookB is the workbook where the data validation is applied.
WorkbookA

1. The Source currently evaluates to an error.
2. A Named range you specified can not be found.

Can anybody give me some insite as to why I'm getting these two type of
errors.
