Thank you. I looked at it before....I'm still lost I downloaded the spreadcheat showing how its done. My problem is that I have the data on a separate worksheet within the workbook and I don't know how to access it from there...Thanks again.
To access another worksheet with data validation, you should use names.
You can create a first listbox with the name of your six lists, then create a dynamic name that select the correct list depending of the entry in the first listbox.
I think that there are a lot of very good example of dynamic name on this website.
