Hi All,

I have a form with two list boxes on it. The first lists trades and the second I would like to list the jobs that those trades carry out. There is a named range for each of the trades jobs. For instance, if I select Engineer from ListBox1, then the range I would like the second list box Row Source to be is 'Engineer'. Can anyone tell me how to code it so that when I select Engineer from the first ListBox, the second will populate with the jobs from the range 'Engineer'?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards,

Bill

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Hi,

I had a similar problem. The way to do it would be to use the indirect function within the data-validation. Search on user Shaikhiy to see the solution.

Come back if you need further help. I cannot take credit for the solution so that is why I would like you to see who came up with the idea for me.

Hi Rajesh,

The list boxes I am using are on a form, not a worksheet. I have tried to set the Row Source as Indirect("H1")but it comes up as sub or function not defined.

Can anyone tell me how to set the Row Source on a list box as an Indirect function.

Regards,

Bill
