Hi I have run into a roadblock that I just can't figure out, I would really appreciate any help I can get.

On sheet 2 in B2 there is a data validation drop down list that has 6 different options. What I need to happen is that on sheets 6, 8, and 9 for an embedded word doc "Object 1" to be visible unless one specific option is chosen lets call it "XYZ" in that case I need "Object 2" to be visible and "Object 1" to not be visible. So far what I have works for the first part but the second part that should be anything else other then "XYZ" does not hide object 2 and both are visible.

Sheet2 B2 = XYZ = only object 2 visible object 1 hidden
Sheet2 B2 = not XYZ = only object 1 visible object 2 hidden

Please help.

<code><code>
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal target As Range)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

If Sheet2.Range("B2") = "XYZ" Then
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("Object 1").Visible = False
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("Object 2").Visible = True
Else
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("Object 1").Visible = True
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects("Object 2").Visible = False
End If


Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
</code></code>
