in in Excel 2000 or later, right click on the sheet tab (of the sheet or
sheets where you want this behavior) and select view code.

in the module that results, in the upper left corner select worksheet from
the dropdown. In the upper right corner, select Change from the dropdown.

you will get a code declaration like

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

End Sub

(make sure you use the Change rather than SelectionChange code
declaration).

Assume the cell with the validation is cell D9

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
if Target.Address = "$D$9" then
Worksheets(Target.Value).Activate
End if
End Sub

This assumes the name in the cell matches the name of the sheet.
