result = search_acc.Value
Column = 23
ElseIf search_status < " " Then
result = search_status.Value
Column = 176
Else: GoTo nochoice
End If

various code
....
nochoice:
msgbox "you did not make a choice, make a choice !"

Whatever you do, you allways end up with the messagebox from nochoice:
Please help !
Thanks,
