Hide a sheet with a variable name

I am trying to hide a sheet(s) based on a cell value. I have found an old
post thats uses:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim sh As Worksheet
If Not Application.Intersect(Range("B8"), Target) Is Nothing Then
For Each sh In Sheets(Array("Sheet2"))
If Target.Value = "" Then sh.Visible = xlSheetHidden
If Target.Value <> "" Then sh.Visible = xlSheetVisible
Next sh
End If
End Sub

and this works perfectly. EXCEPT... my problem is that my sheet names change
(in this case Sheet2) depending on the value of other cells in the workbook.
The +ve side is that all the info for the sheet names and wether to hide
other sheets is contained on a single worksheet (called Front Page)

can anybody help?

Thanks

Scott

hi, Scott !

let's suppose in "Front Page" sheet you put the names for the worksheets to hide/show in B3:B4 range

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim myCell As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
If Target.Address <> "$B$8" Then Exit Sub
For Each myCell In Range("b3:b4")
Worksheets(myCell.Text).Visible = Range("b8") <> ""
Next
End Sub

hth,
hector.

Thanks for the code it works quite well. I extended and moved the range from
B3:B4 to A3:A10 and it still worked fine. However it (un)hides all the
sheets in the range. What I need to do is be able to show/hide individual
sheets (names in range A3:A10) depnding on whether or not the corresonponing
target cell in range B3:10 has an entry? ie if B7 is a null value (which is
the default) then hide the sheet name, based on A7

Thanks

perhaps...

Dim myCell As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
If Intersect(Target, Range("b3:b10")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
For Each myCell In Intersect(Target, Range("b3:b10"))
Worksheets(myCell.Offset(, -1).Text).Visible = myCell <> ""
Next
End Sub
