AskWoody LoungerThis is close. I will work with it. Here is a simplified version of the worksheet.

AskWoody LoungerI continue to struggle with this. I am kind of surprised since this seems to be such a standard feature in Java but few folks use Excel as a reference sheet to jump around in. The hyperlinks in this case are actually bookmarks. Since bookmarks are treated much as URL’s are in creating links for Excel documents, I figured I could use the same or similar language to use the drop down box.
“Ankle” is bookmarked for cell B793.
“Arm” is bookmarked for cell B259
“Cervical_Back” is bookmarked for B435
etc.There are bunch others but I am can replicate the formula once I have statement which works. Maybe I should put the ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add in the UserForm_Initialize() module to add the names and the hyperlinks to the combo box.
I tried the following:
Select Case ComboBox1.Value
Case 0 ‘ First case
CommandButton1.Caption = “Ankle”
Range(“b793”).Hyperlinks(“Ankle”).Follow
Range(“b793”).Select
‘ other choices to followend select
end subI cannot seem to get the drop box to take me to cell B793 when I click on ankle in the dropdown box. I must be missing something obvious.

AskWoody LoungerI can get the drop down to work but when I click on the choice in the drop down it will not hyperlink me with the object. I think VBA is the only way to have the hyperlink to execute on the click from the drop down box. But if you have another way, I would love to hear it. Given the size of the data, I want to go to the data. Not the other way around which seems the primary purpose of the standard dropdown in Excel. Here is the code I have been working with.
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
ComboBox1.AddItem “Ankle”
ComboBox1.AddItem “Arm”
ComboBox1.AddItem “Cervical Back”
End SubPrivate Sub ComboBox1_Change()
ComboBox1.DropDown
Select Case ComboBox1.Value
Case 0 ‘Left Top
CommandButton1.Caption = “Ankle”Worksheets(“July 2001 Surgical Estimates”).Range(“v3”).Hyperlinks(1).Follow ‘tried this
Worksheets(1).Range(“v3”).Hyperlinks.Item(1).Follow NewWindow:=False, AddHistory:=True ‘ tried this
Range(“b793”).Select ‘tried thisCase 1
CommandButton1.Caption = “Arm”
Range(“b793”).SelectCase 2
CommandButton1.Caption = “Cervical Back”
Range(“b793”).SelectEnd Select
End Sub
