Validations from another book

In data/validation the source is =() but to access the source via another
book is it simply a matter of giving the full path name?

Hello gentlemen,

Thank you for the link.
I have followed the example but I cannot seem to get it to work.

Here is an example of what I have done
Book1 contains the range called List

Book2 is where I want to use it in a validation list.
First I created a defined name (in Book2) called Book2List with the range
name
=Book1.xls!List
Then in Data/Validation the source is =Book2List

I am obviously overlooking something but I cannot put my finger on it.

Regards
Pat

I think you're going to have to follow those instructions one more time or post
back what you did and where it failed.

And just maybe, you skimmed over this line:

You can create a dynamic range that refers to a dynamic range in another (open)
workbook.
