Intersect, and refer to column by name
- With the intersect, how can I prevent the code from being activated if there is no Site? (The commented code affects the whole worksheet.)
- How can I refer to Selection.Offset(0, -1) by the column's name, Site?
Dim sSite As String
If Not Intersect(Target, tb.ListColumns("Variable").DataBodyRange) Is Nothing Then
' If Intersect(Target, tb.ListColumns("Variable").DataBodyRange) <> "" And Selection.Offset(0, -1) <> "" Then
Cancel = True
sSite = WorksheetFunction.Substitute(WorksheetFunction.Index(Range("Sites[[Base]]") _
, WorksheetFunction.Match(Selection.Offset(0, -1), Range("Sites[[Site]]"), 0)), "*", "" & ActiveCell.Value & "")
ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink (sSite)
End If

Simply test the sSite variable:
PS:
Do you really need the Selection and ActiveCell objects ?
Be warned that they are major source of troubles.
if(sSite <> vbNullString) Then
ThisWorkbook.FollowHyperlink sSite
End If

- Only the Site column may be empty; never sSite.
- My second question asks how can I avoid the Selection. For the ActiveCell, how else should I refer to it?
The Variable column contains either a whole or part of a hyperlink; the adjacent Site column (if not empty for the active row) refers to another table for the other part of the hyperlink.
- The intersect means the code can only be activated if the Variable column is selected. I also want to prevent the code from being activated if no Site is specified for the active row (because it is a whole hyperlink).
- Instead of the Selection I want to refer to the Site column by name in the way that I have used names for the ranges. This will save me having to update the code when the table structure changes.
A Variable column ???
How are we supposed to understand that ? A column that can be anywhere ?
I still don't understand !!
Upload a sample workbook, and explain from the beginning (not just the part you attempt to solve).

Upload a sample workbook, and explain from the beginning (not just the part you attempt to solve).For now, the little chunk of code you provided isn't enough to offer a solution.
There are other things involved, but you didn't told us about it.

Selection.Offset(0, -1)
Cells(ActiveCell.Row, Range("TableName[[ColumnName]]").Column).Value
