    URGENT: auto expanding drop-down list?

    Hi,

    I have a list (C5:C16) and I want people to be able to add more names to the bottom and it add to a dropdown list on another page.

    Hang on, its not saving the drop-down lists when I save and close!

    I've tried it three times. Add the list, save it and close the file. Re-open it and its not there!
