Hello All,
How do I make this code respond to cells with formulasome instead of the Target?

I am running into some troubles and wish there is a way to use cells with formulas instead of direct changing from the cells.
Thanks


Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim fPath As String, sFile$
If Target = Me.[h9] Then
    fPath = ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & Me.CmbTerm.Text
    sFile = Dir(fPath & "" & Right(Me.[h9].Text, 3) & ".*")
    If sFile <> vbNullString Then
      Me.Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(fPath & "" & sFile)
    Else
        Me.Image1.Picture = LoadPicture("")
    End If
    If Err.Number = 53 Then Me.Image1.Picture = LoadPicture("")
End If
End Sub

Hi,
To work with Cell Changes with Formula's you will nee to use Calculate event. Unfortunately, this event dose not have the range parameter Target so you will need to employ a little bit of trickery by using a cell or it's ID property as a place holder for your formula to compare changes f value against.

Untested but made some changes to your code - see if it does what you want


Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim fPath As String, sFile$
On Error GoTo exitsub
With Me.[h9]
    If .Value <> .ID Then
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    fPath = ThisWorkbook.Path & "" & Me.CmbTerm.Text
    sFile = Dir(fPath & "" & Right(Me.[h9].Text, 3) & ".*")
    If sFile <> vbNullString Then
      Me.Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(fPath & "" & sFile)
    Else
        Me.Image1.Picture = LoadPicture("")
    End If
    .ID = .Value
End If
End With


exitsub:
If Err.Number = 53 Then Me.Image1.Picture = LoadPicture("")
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

may need some adjustment but hopefully give some idea.
