multiple lists that return an answer
 

Since I'm no expert in Excel [2003], I will try to explain myself better in
this posting.
I'm creating a worksheet. I will ask the users 5 questions, two will use
the same list adn two others will use the same list they can choose an answer
from. It goes something like this:

Worked for NEW? [selects yes or no]
Worked for OLD? [selects yes or no]
NEW is [selects last, base or both]
OLD is [selects last, base or both]
Who responded to notice? [selects OLD, NEW, or BOTH]

my lists are on a separate sheet, they are worked[a], type[b], resp[c] and
result[e]

After they make their selections, I want it to display an action they are to
take from another list [e].

What would I put in my box in C6 to have it select the correct action to take?

Sounds like you are looking to set up some dependent lists, and Debra
Dagleish has some good how-to set up information here at
