Default Default Cell Values at Change

I keep getting stuck on a workbook I'm finishing up. Basically it displays
information on a front sheet that pulls from arrays on other sheets based on
a drop down selection (employee name) in cell A9. There is one other cell on
the front sheet (which I've named CoachRating) which is a drop down list that
affects some metrics on the arrays. My problem is, when someone changes the
employee name in cell A9, the value in the CoachRating cell stays at whatever
was selected for the previous name. I'd like to have it set at a default
value (Select) whenever a change is made to cell A9. I've written this code
so far, but I keep getting an error:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

Const empNameCell = "$A$9"
Const csSheetName = "MainPage"
Const csCell = "CoachRating"
Const csDefault = "Select"

If Target.Address empNameCell Then

Exit Sub
End If
SalesManagersCoachingReport.Worksheets(MainPage).R ange(CoachRating) =
csDefault

End Sub

I keep getting a runtime '424' error stating 'object required' and
highlighting this line in the script debugger:
SalesManagersCoachingReport.Worksheets(MainPage).R ange(CoachRating) =
csDefault

Is there something I'm doing wrong here? Thanks!

A few problems here...

What is SalesManagersCoachingReport?
MainPage is the returned value of the constant csSheetName. Not sure why you
have set that as a constant. Same deal with CoachRating

Perhaps

Worksheets("MainPage").Range("CoachRating") = "Select"

I assume CoachRating is a named range.

Thanks for the help Jim! SalesManagersCoachingReport was the name of the
workbook file. Yes, CoachRating was is a named range simply because it
affects performance metrics on the other sheets and it was easier to
reference that way as opposed to a cell number. Thanks again!
