Validation Weirdness

Hi all,

I've got a worksheet which has two validation drop-downs - the secon
feeds off the first using:

=INDIRECT(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","_"))

Now, this was working fine and dandy. Last night however, a colleagu
went and changed one of the entries (don't you love it when they d
that!) on the second list and now, for some reason, this particula
option doesn't work: you can select the first option (which relates t
a department), but the second drop-down (containing specific people i
the department) does not work. It's very odd.

I've done the usual checks - looking for symbols, etc that the Exce
might not like. Checked that each column has had a name created for i
and it's all there.

Any ideas why this one particular option doesn't work?

TIA,

Samuel

It looks as though the second list is working off of range names, and maybe
it was changed without changing the name associated with it.
