Default select case statement?

Thank you all. Seems there is more than one way to skin a cat. Since I am on
the bottom of a steep learning curve in Excel VBA, I think I will play with
all of the suggestions just to try and get an understanding of each.

Thanks again.

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

Sub ComboBox2_Change()
'changes week reference number
'B20 stores the last wk viewed
Sheets("Schedule").Range("B20").Select
'ComboBox2.Value = the wk that is shown on form
ActiveCell.Value = ComboBox2.Value
If ComboBox2.Value = "WK1" Then
Rd_Wk1
Else
If ComboBox2.Value = "WK2" Then
Rd_Wk2
End If
End If

End Sub

Sub Rd_Wk1()
'Reads wk 1 schedule
Set rng = Range("B3:C18")
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

Sub Rd_Wk2()
'Reads wk 2 schedule
Set rng = Range("G3:H18")
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
