Thanks Estys,

This information is helpful. I tried this "Use a different worksheet in a different workbook", point 3 in this article. But after I closed School.xls and try to access StudentDetails.xls school code dropdown list then it is not showing. As per this method I have to open School.xls to see the filled dropdown list.

Can you please tell me this. How can I show data in list without opening School.xls each time?

thanks,
yogesh
