    How to Activate a Sheet from a ComboBox

    This is going to seem like a very stupid question to everyone but I am so completely new to this. I cannot understand this code stuff. Is there is a list of codes that get me to where I want to be? For instance MsgBox = Message box will appear?

    My question is as follows:
    I have a large workbook with about 100 sheets, and each one is labled with a vendor name and it displays orders that I have with them in that sheet. I have created a combobox with all the vendor names. I want to select the vendor that I want to look at from the pulldown menu and then hit "go" and only that vendor's sheet pops up. I want this to happen rather than scroll through all the sheets to find a particular vendor. I got all the vendor names in there but I can't get the command box to understand that when I choose "vendor one" in the pull down menu and hit go, that I want to see on "vendor ones's" sheet.

    Does this make sense?

    Hello Amkey,

    It would help to know which type of drop down you are using: cell Validation List, Forms ComboBox, or a Control ToolBox ComboBox. The code to return the value selected is different for all three.

    Sincerely,
