Sorry Bob,
I should have included the last part so you know what I'm
doing.

MsgBox Str(d) & Chr(32) & "Target Code Dates" & Chr(13) & Str(c) & Chr _
(32) & "Target Deficit" & Chr(13) & Str(e) & Chr(32) & "Machines shipped so
far"

Column 6 & 7 are both date columns. Column 6 is the 'Target Shipping' date &
column 7 the 'Actual Shipping date'. From the information I input I can have
a Msgbox telling me three things (if I could get the last part to work)
ie. How many 'Target Shipping' dates there have been this month, how many
'Shipping Dates' we missed & how many we 'Shipped so far'.

Thanks very much for your reply.

It will never get there

Dim i As Integer, c As Integer, d As Integer, e As Integer
d = 0
c = 0
e = 0

For i = 27 To 321



If Cells(i, 6).Value < Now Then

If Cells(i, 7).Value = "" Then
c = c + 1
Else
d = d + 1
End If

ElseIf Cells(i, 7).Value < "" Then
e = e + 1
End If
Next i

Hi,
the third 'If' statement is supposed to count all of the dates in
the 7th column & not the blank cells. Any idea why it won't work (returns
a result of '0') Like I said before, novice!
Cheers.

d = 0

If Cells(i, 6).Value < Now And Cells(i, 7).Value = ""
Then
c = c + 1

If Cells(i, 7).Value < "" Then
e = e + 1

End If
End If
End If

Next i
