Thanks for all the feedback. It looks like any of these ideas will work well.
Thanks for the help!

Try this idea. It could even be a worksheet_change event requiring no
action.

Sub selectcasef4()
Select Case UCase(Range("f4"))
Case "DAVE": x = "Dave"
Case "BILL": x = "Bill"
Case Else
MsgBox "No name": Exit Sub
End Select
MsgBox x
End Sub

Two questions about the following code.
1- why is it not working?
2- is there a cleaner way to accomplish this?

Sub Test()

If Range("F4") = "" Then
MsgBox "Enter Person Reporting in Cell F4"
Exit Sub
End If

If Range("F4") = "Jay" Then
mySourceWkbkName2 = "F:\files\ProjTimeTracking.xls"
If Range("F4") = "Dave" Then
mySourceWkbkName2 = "H:\FAC\Dave
Sipes\DavProjTimeTracking.xls"
If Range("F4") < "" Then
MsgBox "Person Reporting name mispelled"
Exit Sub
End If
End If
End If

MsgBox (mySourceWkbkName2)

End Sub
