Default Drop down list


I have a new worksheet setup however, excel will only allow me to enter
so much sata in the drop down validation list.

I need at least tripple the amount that is allowed any way of doing
this.

I even tried putting the list in Open office and that al worked fine
then tried to open it in Excel but excel just deleted the bottom of the
list

Any suggestions

Hi!

In the grand scheme of things, that's not a very long list!

How EXACTLY are you setting up your drop down? What version of Excel are you
using? If I remember correctly some "early" versions have a problem (bug)
when using drop downs AND the sheet has FROZEN PANES or a WINDOW SPLIT.
