Rows not hiding. VBA not showing MsgBox on value

Greetings all.
I've been to frustration land and back with this issue and I just can't figure it out. It took me a while to get where the VBA code is now but now, I'm totally stuck.
The code is a Worksheet_Change event. Cell D3 (Target) controls visibility of rows 4 through 12 (inclusive). There is a MsgBox that supposed to display if D3>10 but it doesn't if D3 is 11 but will display if D3>=12. Add to that, if D3=1 or IsEmpty, Row 3 is the only Row supposed to be visible but Row 4 is still visible.
This is driving me nuts and it's something so simple I'm overlooking it.

This image shows how I set up a test worksheet:

Thanks for your generous attention, I really appreciate it.
Derick

Here's the event code.
VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Hide/Show rows 4 through 12

    If Target.Address = "$D$3" Then
        Application.EnableEvents = False 
       
        Dim visibleRowCount As Long
        visibleRowCount = Range("D3").Value - 1 'If not -1, it will show an additional row ??????? I don't know why. I just tried -1 and it worked.
       
    ' Hide rows 4 to 12 to start.
        Rows("4:12").EntireRow.Hidden = True
       
        If visibleRowCount > 10 Then
            MsgBox "No more than 10 rows will be shown. Please enter a value from 1 to 10.", vbExclamation, "Incorrect Value"
            Range("D3").Value = 10
            Rows("4:12").EntireRow.Hidden = False
        ElseIf IsEmpty(visibleRowCount) Then
            Range("D3").Value = 1
            Rows("4:12").EntireRow.Hidden = True
        Else
            Rows("4:" & visibleRowCount + 3).EntireRow.Hidden = False '+3 because working with rows 4:12
        End If
       
        Application.EnableEvents = True
    End If

End Sub

I guess if we get wrong information, you get wrong results.
The way to go is to supply the right information. All of it.

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
That work exactly as I wanted until D3=10. I got a Run-Time Error: 1004 "Application-defined or object-defined error on the line Rows(x + Target.Value).Resize(10 - rws(i)).Hidden = True.
@jolivanes
When D3=10 then this part:
.Resize(10 - rws(i))
will be read as:
.Resize(0)
that's what threw the error. So I think it should be:

VBA Code:
For i = LBound(rws) To UBound(rws) - 1

Sorry, this is what was meant to be posted. My apologies.
Of course, Akuini's fix works also. It might even be better.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = Cells(3, 4).Address Then
Rows(3).Resize(10).Hidden = False
If Target >= 10 Then Exit Sub
Dim rws, x As Long, i As Long
rws = Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
x = 3
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Rows(3).Resize(10).Hidden = False
    For i = LBound(rws) To UBound(rws)
        If rws(i) = Cells(3, 4) Then Rows(x + Target.Value).Resize(10 - rws(i)).Hidden = True: Exit For
    Next i
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Forgot to say "Thanks" to Akuini.
Please consider it done.

Actually we don't need to use an array with row numbers.
You could test run this on a copy of your original workbook with more data rows as you indicated in Post #10.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = Cells(3, 4).Address Then
Dim avT As Long, avB As Long
avT = Application.InputBox("Top ""Always Visible"" Row", "Row Number", Type:=1)
avB = Application.InputBox("Bottom ""Always Visible"" Row", "Row Number", Type:=1)
Rows(avT).Resize(avB - avT).Hidden = False
If Target >= avB - avT Then Exit Sub
Rows(avT + Target.Value).Resize(avB - avT - Target.Value).Hidden = True
End If
End Sub
Substitute the InputBox lines to
Code:
avT = 3
avB = 13    '<---- or whatever row number
If you want to

In this code snippet in Post # 13, delete the middle line.
Code:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Rows(3).Resize(10).Hidden = False    '<----- delete this line
    For i = LBound(rws) To UBound(rws)

If or when you reply to my post, don't quote. Refer to Post numbers. I generally know and even sometimes remember what I wrote/did.

Solution
This seems to work for me as well, based on post 2. Slight modification, but similar to what I first posted. The other code I was referring to that ran was my own.
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim visibleRowCount As Long

On Error GoTo errHandler
If Not Target.Address = "$D$3" Then Exit Sub
If visibleRowCount > 10 Then 'if true, no sense in doing anything else; e.g. disabling events
     MsgBox "No more than 10 rows will be shown. Please enter a value from 1 to 10.", vbExclamation, "Incorrect Value"
     Exit Sub
End If

visibleRowCount = Target
If Target > 0 And Target < 10 Then
     Application.EnableEvents = False
     Rows("3:" & Target + 2).Hidden = False
     Rows(Target + 3 & ":" & "12").Hidden = True
Else
     Rows("3:12").Hidden = False
End If

exitHere:
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub

errHandler:
MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description
Resume exitHere

End Sub

Ref post #15
Jolivanes, that works perfectly. I'm impressed by the length of the code and it does exactly as I needed it. I used the row numbers as your offered option. As I mentioned before the 10 rows was the test and having the option to change these variables is exactly what I was looking at.
Thanks for the lessons learned. I'm still learning and I humbly apologize for not mentioning about the intent of using the code for 200 rows. I'll mark this thread as done.

@Micron. I want to thank you for your time and effort. I'm grateful and sincerely appreciate the time you took to help me finding a solution. jolivane offered the solution I was looking for in Post #15. The code was concise and exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks again.
