I have a multiple sheet workbook in which certain items are assigned a code
of from a to g. Each of those items then has 2 other sheets associated with
it. How can i make a macro look up the code result, and then close all of the
sheets not needed.

For example, if the result is A, sheets 1 and 7 need to be open, B sheets 2
and 8, etc. There are also some sheets that stay open no matter what.

Thanks for any help.

Bob,

That code was almost exactly what I needed. However, I have one problem. The
cell that I am using as the value cell gets it result from a formula. In
other words, I have a list of Numbers in a Combo Box, once a number is
selected, a lookup table is used to attribute a letter to that number and
that letter is returned in the selected cell. This method does not result in
this code working. If I manually change the cell to whatever case I desire,
works like a charm, but the value changing as a result of the lookup does not
make the code run, I guess. Any further suggestions, short of making a case
for each of the number values??

Thanks for the help.
