    So, after spending last night thinking about the problem, Shankar's first response got me thinking and I gave the project to a colleague to try on his computer to see if it was just my setup, since what I wanted to happen was working like I expected for Shankar.  My co worker opened the project, edited sheet 1 of the spreadsheet and it worked for him the way it did for Shankar.  I then took his copy of the project and put it on a laptop we lend to contractors and it didn't work there.  Then I realized the problem, my co worker edited sheet 1!  When i was opening the spreadsheet it was defaulting to sheet 4 which is the master list of all available countrys, not the working list for the current execution...  So it was something embarrassingly simple that was the problem, user error.  I had been editing sheet 4 in excel and in test complete I was looking at sheet 1! 

    Thank you for the help everyone!
