Default Excel 2003 using a list from another workbook

Everytime I follow Debra's directions in "Use a List from Another Workbook"
I get an error message that "You may not use references to other worksheets
or workbooks for data validation criteria". Does it just not work in 2003?

Thanks.
Kimberly

Default Excel 2003 using a list from another workbook

Hi Kimberley

No, it works fine in XL2003.

I suspect you are not following Debra's instructions completely, especially
points 4 and 5
4. Keep MyLists.xls open, and create and save a new workbook (Schedule.xls)
5. In Schedule.xls, create a range named EmployeeList with this formula:
=MyLists.xls!Employees
