Hi,
Does anyone know why my Data Validation Dropdown List disappears everytime I close my spreadsheet?
It is very annoying because I have to re-do my validation-dropdown every time I re-open my spreadsheet and it is a very time consuming process.
My validation list is in the same spreadsheet but on its own worksheet/tab.
I am running Office 2010 v 14.0.4760.1000 (64-bit) on Win 7.
Your help/feedback is greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Bob

Assuming that you have saved the workbook, that makes me think the workbook has become corrupted. See http://www.jkp-ads.com/Articles/CorruptFiles.asp,
