Default Import data to drop down list in another excel file

I've been reading on how to create a drop down list, and name it, but I can
only get it to work in the same document that I typed the data for the drop
down list. It says I can import that list into another document if I name it
and put "=name" in the function box, but it's not working. Any suggestions?

"?document?" Is this a question about Microsoft Access?

This newsgroup supports Microsoft Access, the relational database product.

I'm trying to do the same thing, except I am trying to build a drop down list
using data listed in my second sheet. I'm attempting to do this in MS Excel
2003.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
