if x = true then do y, possible?
 

I'm sure this is possible, just not sure how I should go about it.
have a drop-down list with a bunch of values and an "other" value. I
the user selects other I would like a image to be inserted on anothe
worksheet in a field. If any value is selected I would like a simpl
text line to be inserted in the same area on the other worksheet.

How would I go about this? Should I code this in VBA or can it b
included in some sort of cell formula?

Thank you
