On this spreadsheet, the user selects a range in cell B2; this triggers display
of items in cells C2, D2, E2, and F2.

The user can then select, in cells C3, D3, E3 and F3, another variable that
would (in the full spreadsheet) modify data relevant to the cells above it.

The problem I'm having is in the Data > Validity settings in cells C3 through F3
mentioned above.

There are three named ranges in the spreadsheet:

Ordered_List, Blank, and Action Points.

Ordered_List populates the drop-down in B2.

Blank should evaluate to an empty cell.

Action_Points evaluates to the drop-down list that would populate the cells C3
through F3, if the cell immediately above them was NOT blank.

If you examine the files in the URL listing, you will find that cells C, D, E
and F on row 3 has Data > Validity activated, as follows:

IF(E2="";Blank;Action_Points)

So, in plain English - if cell E2 is blank, cell E3 should also be blank.  If
cell E2 is NOT blank, cell E3 should be populated by the Action_Points drop 
down.

The problem is that that first check is not working, but does in Excel, and I
use it a LOT in Excel.

The zip file listed in the URL has two copies of the spreadsheet, one for
OpenOffice, the other for Excel; this works the way I want it to in Excel, but
not in OpenOffice, and I need it to work the same way in both.
