Dynamic Ranges and Lists

Hi

I am trying to set up lists with sub lists using data validation. In column A you will choose from a list, the options to choose from in column B will be dependant on the choice in column A. Each option in column A has an associated named range with the 'sub options'.

When using a static named range I was able to use the the following formula as data validation =indirect(A1). However when I convereted the named range to a dynamic range the data validation produced an error.

Help!

There are instructions here for using dynamic lists:
