Default select case statement?

CR put the range references into an array and then use the array:
see the code
szWeekRanges = array(""B3:C18", "G3:H18" ) ' add more here
and add more ranges here for the weeks.

option base 1

Sub ComboBox2_Change()
dim iWeekNr as integer
dim szWeekRanges as variant
szWeekRanges = array(""B3:C18", "G3:H18" ) ' add more here

'changes week reference number
'B20 stores the last wk viewed
iWeekNr = ComboBox2.Value
Sheets("Schedule").Range("B20") = iWeekNr
If iWeekNr = LBound(szWeekRanges) and _
iWeekNr <= UBound(szWeekRanges) then
Rd_Wk(szWeekRanges(iWeekNr))
Else
msgbox "Error occured deal with it....."
End If

End Sub

Sub Rd_Wk(szRgn as string)
Set rng = Range(szRgn)
For Each ctrl In UserForm1.Controls
If TypeOf ctrl Is MSForms.Label Then
j = j + 1
ctrl.Caption = rng(j).Value
End If
Next
End Sub

Hi, I have the following code behind a userform that works, but I don't
think that it is the way to go with it. I have not gone any further than
this on the code. The labels on the form will have to populate from one of
16 different ranges, week one is B3:C18, wk 2 G3:H18 ect. depending on the
value in Combobox2.

I have never used a select case statement, but if I understand it, I think
it will be better than doing with more IF's and multiple subs. I already see
that I could get rid of the extra subs by changing the range with IF's and
combining the ComboBox2_Change sub and one of the others but it would still
be a lot of IF's

Can someone give me a short snippet that would put me in the right direction
or correct me if I am wrong about the select case being better.

Thanks
