I'm pretty new to all this!

Please can anyone help?

I am basically trying to write a macro that says....

If Sheet2, CellA5 =1 then run box1.show
If Sheet2, CellA5 =2 then run box2.show
If Sheet3, CellA5 =3 then run box3.show

Trouble is Sheet2 is very hidden and protected so I can't go to th
cell and say 'If activecell' etc.....well I suppose I can but i
involves unhiding it and it contains the guts of my application. I
there any easy way?

Any ideas please?

Many thanks

one way:

If Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A5").Value = 1 Then Box1.Show


Or

Select Case Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A5").Value
Case 1
Box1.Show
Case 2
Box2.Show
Case 3
Box3.Show
Case Else
End Select

Try again,

If you avoid selecting, but address the range directly, the fact that the
sheet is hidden is immaterial. For instance,

With Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A5")
If .Value = 1 Then
box1.show
ElseIf ... etc
End If
End With
