    create a list drop down with the source data from another workbook?

    hello

    I have a spreadsheet called contacts which is as it says, I have another sheet called project management, I want to have a drop down list which refers back to the contacts spreadsheet, it this possible as they are two different files?

    many thanks excel guru's ;-)
