Gord,
I am glad that you approved it. What a relief! All I had in mind was
VLOOKUP and HYPERLINK but I wasn't sure about the clicking part. So I
didn't feel comfortable telling Jared and was waiting for someone to fill in
the blank. Then I found that link. Good thing it was Excel 2000 and not
Excel 2007. ;) Thank you, Aladin!

Thanks for the link. Aladin is pretty sharp.
Jared could probably use that method.
Hope he is still hanging around.

Gord,
I found the following link on drop down list and hyperlink without using
VBA. Mind you it was Excel 2000. I am not sure about the suggestion and
Jared's need, and wonder what you think.
One line caught my eyes - "This formula creates immediately a clickable
hyperlink."

Do you have the ranges named in InsertName Define?
You could use event code with the DV list in B1
Option Compare Text
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Intersect(Target, Me.Range("B1")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo endit
Application.EnableEvents = False
Select Case Target.Value
Case "peter"
Application.Goto Reference:="peter"
Case "paul"
Application.Goto Reference:="paul"
Case "mary"
Application.Goto Reference:="mary"
End Select
endit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
If ranges are not named, just replace Application.Goto
Reference:="peter"
with
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").Select
A lot of work if you have a great whack of names.

Epinn,
Okay, the first link got me through making the list i needed, but
how
do
i add a hyper link per name? so clicking the name will get me to a
specific
cell. but each name needs to be to a different location. i might need
to
add
a event click in vba, but i don't know how to add this to a list.
thanks

Jared,
Shall I say the second link is a continuation of the first link. If
your
list of valid entries is in a **different workbook** and you follow
the
instructions from link 1, you may get an error message "You may not
use
references to other worksheets or workbooks for Data Validation
criteria."
I did and I had to do a get around by using the instructions in link
2.
It
may not be obvious to you until you try it. As I said in my first
post, I
had to use INDIRECT() which was the second method stated in link 2.
Depending on your arrangement, you may or may not need link 2 for
the
fix.
I included it just in case.
Please look at link 1 and link 2 as part I and part II. If link 1
doesn't
help you at all, you can ignore link 2. You can also forget about
link
2,
if you use ONE worksheet and not two workbooks.
I included the links for your reference as you mentioned drop down
list.
That's all.

Epinn,
I looked through both links, but i couldn't figure out exactly
what
exactly was i suppose to see in the pages. The first link got me
through
the
list, but the second link i did not understand at all how was
connected to
my
situation
thanks

Hi,
Since you used the term "drop down list," I would like to
highlight
the
following links. However, the purpose is for data
entry/validation. I
am
not surprised if your approach may have to be something very
different -
a
formula/procedure plus hyperlink? I'll let the experts fill in
the
blank.

Please note that I had to use INDIRECT() in the case of
referencing
a
**different** workbook (as per the second link above).
Thank you for the question and I am sure I can learn something
here.
