    Two unrelated listboxes on same worksheet

    This is an Excel 2003 problem. I am trying to create two unrelated listboxes on the same worksheet (titled General) using data validation. I created the first listbox called Logtype with no problem. The list items are in cells A1:A5 of Sheet3. The second listbox is to contain the contents of cells Rectype which are C1:C6 on Sheet 3 (have also tried cells A1:A6 on Sheet4), but contains the Logtype list instead. I have tried making the second listbox a combobox but it still populates with the Logtype list as well. I don't know VBA and would like to stay away from it (and macros) if possible because of site security restrictions. The workbook I am using is attached.
    Thanks.

    You have both Rectype and Logtype defined as Sheet3!$A$2:$A$6.
    You need to open up your "Name Manager" and delete Rectype. Then try redefining it.

    I had to install the Name Manager add-in first (great tool).
    Your solution worked great (though I don't know how they were defined with the same list in the first place).
    Thank you very much!
