That is how I thought it worked, and when I manually type in a value in cell
"a3", the macro works. However, when the value in "a3" gets changed after I
make a new selection in the associated drop-down box, it does not work. This
is the part that is confusing me.

No. How that value gets into that cell makes no difference unless that cell
contains a formula and that formula generates that value. Otto

Thanks for the quick response, however it's still not working on my end.
In
your file, is the value of "a3" changing when a combo box selection
changes?

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("a3")) Is Nothing Then
If Range("g6").Value = 1 Then
Range("g12").Value = 8
End If
End If

I am trying to use a Private Sub Worksheet_Change event macro to change
the
value of cell "g12" when there's a change to cell "a3", and when cell
"g6"
=
1. Cell "a3" is itself the cell link of a combo box (created from the
"Forms" toolbar). I know that this kind of macro only works under some
circumstances, but is this one of them? My code is:

Private Sub worksheet_change(ByVal target As Range)
If Not Intersect(target, Me.Range("a3")) Is Nothing Then
If Range("g6").Value = "1" Then
Range("g12").Value = "8"
End If
End If
End Sub
