I've searched for and read other data validation forum posts and answers, but none is quite like my problem. I have a fairly complex workbook with one worksheet serving as the input mechanism and other worksheets with reference data. The input worksheet has approximately 150 data points that must be selected (from drop down lists) or entered by the user. Other sections perform a series of calculations and the result is a formatted output report. All the data validation cells in the input worksheet reference data in other worksheets. Some are cascading lists. The problem occurs sporadically and to different cells with drop down validation lists. The function will work fine and consistently for some time, and then a drop down validation will be blank. When I go to Data Validation I see the range of cells in the reference range has changed to a range of cells in the input worksheet, not the reference cells I had specified in one of the reference data worksheets. I don't know of anything I've done to cause this and as I said it is sporadic. It's annoying and embarrassing as I created this tool for the boss and QA'd it extensively and then when he goes to use it it has these errors. Can anyone provide a solution or tell me where i have erred? Many thanks.
