Based on Drop-Down Selection go to that Section on Sheet

[Golova]

Hello.

In Excel 2003 is there a way to create a drop-down list, where based on user
selection it goes to that section?

For example, if a user selects "Hours" from the drop-down list, it takes
them to the section in the Worksheet called "Hours".

This way the user avoids scrolling down a long Worksheet to find the section
they need to fill out.

Thanks in advance.

You would need VBA behind the selection. Is that acceptable?

That's fine. Although I haven't worked much with VBA.

Thanks

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Const WS_RANGE As String = "H1" '<== change to suit

On Error GoTo ws_exit
Application.EnableEvents = False

If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range(WS_RANGE)) Is Nothing Then
With Target
On Error Resume Next
Worksheets(Target.Value).Activate
On Error GoTo 0
End With
End If

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.
