------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Nov 12 16:23:39 +0000 2007 ------- I really don't use open office myself but tried to setup a solution for a family member. I did this a few months ago so I am getting fuzzy on the details but thought I would share my findings. While doing this, I created one sheet with a basic form that had cells with validation of the contents which were retrieved from a different tab. The fields were dropdown boxes which would be populated from the other sheet. (I had multiple validation lists on the other tab) although I was able to get it working, if I made any significant changes on the main sheet like inserting a row or shifting cells down, the reference for the validation to the other tab would fail and thus the values in the drop down would be the wrong data. I don't have open office installed on my machine (owned by my employer) but I could re-install on a virtual machine to duplicate if you consider this worth further investigation. The family member would have been happy to stick with open office but the continual loss of a correct link to the data on another tab just wasn't going to be a workable solution and he did purchase a copy of MS office so that the validation links would remain. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding this and if you would like me to setup a virtual machine to duplicate the issue. Sincerely, Craig Pero.
