If Range("E5").Value = X Then

Where is X declared and assigned a value? If you don't declare it, VBA
will create a new variable named 'X' and assign it a value of 0. When
you clear out cell E5, it is treated as zero for numeric purposes, so
0 = X and thus triggers the link.

Mike,

One more try. For my spreadsheet, I converted the code to:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("E5").Value = X Then
Range("B5").Hyperlinks(1).Follow
End If
End Sub

However when I changed the "99" to an "X" it triggers the hyperlink when I
delete the X in the cell, not when I put the X in. Is that a text versus
numberic issue?

Hi,

Similar solution

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("A1").Value = 99 Then
Range("B1").Hyperlinks(1).Follow
End If
End Sub

Mike,

Sorry for the vagueness.

The hyperlink is already in Sheet 1, B1. I want the input of a "99" in ceel
A1 to bring me to the place that the hyperlink in B1 is set to go.
