I have it so that the userform only shows when "XYZ" is selected from a drop down in B2.
But now even after it is satisfied if I select any other drop down in any other cell of this worksheet the userform opens again. I only want it to open if "XYZ" is selected from B4.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
If [B2].Text = "XYZ" Then
UserForm.Show
With UserForm
  .StartUpPosition = 1
  .Left = Application.Left + (0.5 * Application.Width) - (0.5 * .Width)
  .Top = Application.Top + (0.5 * Application.Height) - (0.5 * .Height)
  .Show
End With
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Any help is greatly appreciated!
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Try
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
[COLOR=#0000ff]If Target.Address <> "B2" Then Exit Sub[/COLOR]
If [B2].Text = "XYZ" Then
UserForm.Show
With UserForm
  .StartUpPosition = 1
  .Left = Application.Left + (0.5 * Application.Width) - (0.5 * .Width)
  .Top = Application.Top + (0.5 * Application.Height) - (0.5 * .Height)
  .Show
End With
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

  .Show
End With
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
This stopped the userform from opening at all.

Is B2 a data validation dropdown?

Sorry, it should be
Code:
If Target.Address[COLOR=#ff0000](0,0)[/COLOR] <> "B2" Then Exit Sub
