[mso] Excel - Validation list to another sheet

I have a workbook with several sheets that schools are going to complete.  I
would like to have them choose the school name on one sheet and then have
that name appear on all of the other sheets.

I was able to do this with the date by just putting the formula =other
worksheet cell address.

But for the names, I have a dropdown list and when I try to reference it on
the second sheet, I get an error message.  A message said I can't reference
other sheets in a validation formula.

Is there some way around this?

Thank you for any ideas you may have.

Jenny
