drop-down populated from external data
 

Is there a way to get a list box to have the values in it populated from an
external data source?

You are more likely to get an answer if you say specifically what kind
of external data source.

Sorry for not being more specific.

I am quering an Oracle database using the ODBC driver. I am assuming puting
the data back in to a List object is the best way to do this but was hoping
someone had a more elegant way.. if there is one.. to do this.

I would like to use the validation drop down combo box Vs the normal combo
box, because the validation drop down list is self aligned to a cell. However
the data source has to be on the same sheet itself, I think. Can the data
source be an SQL statement. Is this possible? I would like to know.
