Everything I try returns "Could not set the RowSource property. Invalid property value.

I want to use my sheet name "Countries-Alphabetical" for 2 ListBoxes.

Countries-Alphabetical!A2:A231 does not work.

A2:A231 does work but the worksheet has to be activated, which I don't want.

Must be simple.................. please help :-)

Since the sheet name contains a hyphen, you must enclose it in single straight quotes:

'Countries-Alphabetical'!A2:A231
