Hi everyone

I have some VBA code that runs automatically based on when a particular cell is selected. I tried writing the code in such a way, that if the user swaps between the different options, every option will work, no matter the order in which you select them (in the event of a miss click).
Here is the code:
VBA Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Target.Address = "$B$7" Then
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    ActiveSheet.Unprotect "abc123"
        If ActiveSheet.Range("B7").Value = "New Account" Then
            Range("C14:E14").Select
'           Performance Contract dropdown
            With Selection.Validation
                .Delete
                .Add Type:=xlValidateList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _
                xlBetween, Formula1:="=Data!$G$2:$G$3"
                .IgnoreBlank = True
                .InCellDropdown = True
                .InputTitle = ""
                .ErrorTitle = ""
                .InputMessage = "Select ""Yes"" if the employee does not need any form of IT/phone/alarm code access, otherwise select ""No""."
                .ErrorMessage = "Please select Yes or No"
                .ShowInput = True
                .ShowError = True
            End With
            Range("D7:E7,B15,B26,D9").Select
            Range("B26").Activate
            Selection.Locked = True
            Selection.FormulaHidden = False
            Range("B9:B12,D10:D11").Select

        Else
            If ActiveSheet.Range("B7").Value = "Termination of Account" Then

            Range("D9").Activate
            Selection.Locked = True
            Selection.FormulaHidden = False
            Range("B10").Select
        End If
    ActiveSheet.Protect "abc123"
    ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    End If
End Sub

The problem is that when I select "Termination of Account", I get an 'Run-time error 1004': Application-defined or object-defined error". These lines then get highlighted:
VBA Code: 
                ActiveCell.Formula2R1C1 = _
                    "=IF(R8C2="""","""",IF(R9C3<>"""",IF(XLOOKUP(R8C2,'User Data'!C6,'User Data'!C11,"""")=0,"""",XLOOKUP(R8C2,'User Data'!C6,'User Data'!C11,"""")),""""))"
I have narrowed it down to cell B11 not being unlocked, but I do have above the formula that lists ranges that must be unlocked.
If I comment out the highlighted code above, then I get an error stating "Unable to set the Locked property of the Range class". Again, probably because the cell was not unlocked in the first place. The exact same error occurs when I select "Change Account" instead of "Termination of Account".

The second issue is that when I work on a second workbook (completely unrelated to this one), I get the error "Run-time error '9': Subscript out of range" and then this portion of code gets highlighted:
VBA Code: 
If Worksheets("User Form").Range("E50").Value = "Yes" Or Worksheets("User Form").Range("E50").Value = "yes" Then

Here is the full code:
VBA Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()

Originally "Worksheets("user Form")" was "ActiveSheet" (or something similar). I changed it to use the sheet's name, but it did not help. What can I do to fix this?

The form is still in its early stages. I still have to figure out a way for Excel to change "yes" and any other version of "yEs" into "Yes", since VBA is case sensitive. The code I used for this is commented out, since it causes Excel to go into a "calculate" hang. I'm guessing there is a loop somewhere. I'm not saying this to ask you to fix that as well, just so that you know why I have commented out that piece of code :) .

Thank you for your help so far.

when i choose NO should all the checkboxes disappear?, and yes, they are there

That is correct. If "no" is selected, the area should be blank, otherwise it should show the blocks.

ok, so we need to rejig your logic a bit... give me a few moments

so here is a rejog of your code. fisrtly, rename your current worksheet_change sub to anything because this new sub uses the worksheet_change event. this code gets the checkboxes hiding / showing. take a look, and if you are happy we can move on :)

VBA Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim Vis As Boolean
    If UCase(Target.Value) = "YES" Then Vis = True Else Vis = False
   
'   SDBIP - KPI Owner
    If Target.Address = "$G$153" Then
        HiLiteShapes "SDBIP", Vis
    End If

'   Performance Assist
    If Target.Address = "$B$160" Then
        HiLiteShapes "Perf_", Vis
    End If

'   Eunomia
    If Target.Address = "$D$134" Then
        HiLiteShapes "Eunomia", Vis
    End If

'   Risk Management - Action Owner
    If Target.Address = "$G$140" Then
        HiLiteShapes "Risk", Vis
    End If

'   Alarm Code & Building Keys
    If Target.Address = "$B$56" Then
        HiLiteShapes "Alarm", Vis
    End If

'   IT Equipment
    If Target.Address = "$E$50" Then
        HiLiteShapes "ITEquip", Vis
    End If
 
'   Risk Management
    If Target.Address = "$B$134" Then
        HiLiteShapes "RiskMan", Vis
    End If

'   SDBIP
    If Target.Address = "$B$147" Then
        HiLiteShapes "SDBIPAdmin", Vis
    End If
End Sub

Sub HiLiteShapes(MyStr As String, IsVis As Boolean)
    Dim MyShape As Shape
   
    For Each MyShape In ActiveSheet.Shapes
        If Left(MyShape.Name, Len(MyStr)) = MyStr Then
            MyShape.Visible = IsVis
        End If
    Next MyShape
End Sub

Apologies. I did not get a notification that you put a reply here. I got a bunch of errors when putting your code in, so I removed all my code and put it in a notepad file. I'll incorporate it back into Excel later. Now I have no errors.

It looks like the checkboxes got grouped, but I have no idea how. There are some that are grouped that should not be, though I can do the split myself once I know how, unless you want me to list what must get split?

the grouping is based on the names if the controls. thats why i need them changed...
you can regroup however you want :)
let me know when you are ready. but it is getting late again :)

its skinny code now LOL
