Default Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) - Big Problems

Rick & Barb - Thanks for your responses.
Rick, you're code does not solve the problem.
Barb, I tried playing around with your suggestion, but can't see even a
partial solution with this.

Beside not explaining myself clearly, I think the biggest problem is that I
don't understand how the module works.

I'm assuming that each time a "trigger" cell is changed, that all the
instructions in the model are process (again).
(it wouldn't particularily surprise me if I'm way off base here).
This is what leads me to believe that the 2nd set of instructions "undoes"
what was done in the first code.

When the salesman selects an item in the group of 5, he doesn't need to see
the other 4 groups anymore. That is what I'm then trying to Hide. However, he
DOES need a way out again, in case someone changes their mind, or he made an
entry error. That's what the Un-Hides are for.
In the first code I sent, the "_H" stands for Hide and the "_UH" stands for
UnHide.

Perhaps the following would help make things a bit clearer, in terms of what
I'm trying to do.

A B
1 G-1 Descriptive Heading
2 G-1 Descriptions (multiple lines)
3 G-1 Descriptions (multiple lines)
4 G-2 Descriptive Heading
5 G-2 Descriptions (multiple lines)
6 G-2 Descriptions (multiple lines)
7 G-3 Descriptive Heading
8 G-3 Descriptions (multiple lines)
9 G-3 Descriptions (multiple lines)
10 G-4 Descriptive Heading
11 G-4 Descriptions (multiple lines)
12 G-4 Descriptions (multiple lines)
13 G-5 Descriptive Heading
14 G-5 Descriptions (multiple lines)
15 G-5 Descriptions (multiple lines)

Line 1, 2, 3 are range named R1
Line 4, 5, 6 are range named R2
Etc.

B1, B4, B7, B10, B13 are the trigger cells
Selection is done by entering a "1" in appropriate cell ("B?")
De-Selection is done by entering a "0" in appropriate cell
OR by deleting the "1".

If B1 SELECTED, then HIDE Ranges G-2, G-3, G-4, G-5
If B1 DE-SELECTED then UNHIDE Ranges G-2, G-3, G-4, G-5
If B3 SELECTED, Then HIDE Ranges G-1, G-3, G-4, G-5
If B3 DESELECTED, Then UNHIDE Ranges G-1, G-3, G-4, G-5
etc.

Perhaps something like this needs to be set up using a standard module as
well as the worksheet module.
Is there any code that can be written in a standard module, that will
"trigger" the same way as in the Worksheet module?

I suspect when you change something on your worksheet with code, it's
triggering the worksheet change event again, but for a different group of
cells.

You may want to try

Application.EnableEvents = FALSE 'at the beginning
Application.EnableEvents = TRUE 'at the end

I just "discovered" this by accident a few weeks ago.
Have LOTS of application for it - but having problems setting it up.

Situation:
Have Five Groups.
The First Line of Each Group will have the "trigger" in Cell E?
Each Group has range name for complete group.

If group 1 selected, the "undo" instructions of group 2 seem to void what
the original selection was trying to do.
Is there a way to get around this?

If Range("FBSMINT") 0 Then ' "trigger" cell
Call FLBIN_SMI_H ' This hides the group 2, 3, 4,
and 5 ranges
Else
If Range("FBSMINT") = 0 Then ' "trigger" cell, again
Call FLBIN_SMI_UH 'This Unhides the group 2, 3, 4
and 5 Ranges
End If
End If

If Range("FBSAINT") 0 Then
Call FLBIN_SAI_H ' This hides group 1, 3, 4 and
5 ranges
Else
If Range("FBSAINT") = 0 Then
Call FLBIN_SAI_UH ' This Unhides group 1, 3, 4 and
5 Ranges
End If
End If

Therefore, If group 1 is selected, the Unhide instructions in group 2 undo,
what group 1 is trying to do. However, I do need some whay of "unhiding" in
case of a mistake or change of mind.

End Result : As various selections are made within the various groupings on
the contract templates, the template will shorten considerably, making it
much easier to view and work with, by the salesmen.

I hope my attempted explanations are not too convoluted.
As you can see, I have no problem utilizing standard modules together with
the worksheet module - I think it actually helps keep things clearer.

I sure hope someone can help me with this. I'm very excited about what I see
as the possibilities for this application.
