What would be the correct coding syntax for the following:

Any help would be appreciated,

I'm having a little problem understanding your question.

In other words, what do you expect to happen if both b and e = x.

Assuming you just want to execute different instructions after the first
occurrence, you could use the If...Then...Else Statement

If a=x Then
[instructions]

[ElseIf b=x Then
[instructions]

[ElseIf b=x Then
[instructions]

....

End If

(Look up IF in VBA help)

However, if you want to execute instructions if any of a-f = x, then you could
use the OR operator:

IF _
a = x _
OR b = x _
OR c = x _
... _
Then
[instructions]
End If

Depending on the nature of the data, there may be other ways of executing this
test.
