Below is the sub that I have written. Can anyone tell me
why I am getting this error?:

"Run-Time error '1004':
Method 'Range" of object '_Global" failed

It's giving me the error on this line:
Range(rng1, "1:1").EntireRow.Select

Here's the Sub:

Dim Vertrng As Range, Plotrng As Range, rng1 As Range,
rng2 As Range, Arng As Range, POBrng As Range, rng3 As

Dim cell As Range

For Each cell In Vertrng
If cell.Value = "*VERTICAL" And rng1 Is Nothing Then
Set rng1 = cell
Exit For
End If
Next

Range(rng1, "1:1").EntireRow.Select

If it runs through the for next loop and doesnt find
the value "*VERTICAL" then rng1 will be unset
and the selection wil fail

Try

If Not rng1 Is Nothing Then
Range(rng1, "1:1").EntireRow.Select
Selection.ClearContents
End If

The obvious answer is that no cell in Vertrng passes the test

If cell.Value = "*VERTICAL"


Does the cell actually contain the string *VERTICAL or are you trying to
use * as a wild card. If a wildcard, that doesn't work.

for a wildcard use either Instr or Like


Activeworkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Company" ).Value = "My Company"
? Activeworkbook.BuiltinDocumentProperties("Company" ).Value
My Company
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("9:9").Value=Worksheets ("Sheet2").Range("15:15").
Value

sStr = "My Vertical Wall"
? sSTr = "*Vertical"
False
? sStr like "*Vertical"
False
? sStr like "*Vertical*"
True
? instr(1,sStr,"vertical",vbTextCompare)
4

Instr returns the postion within sStr where the substring is found. A zero
result indicates it isn't included.

Like is case sensitive, but you could remove that with

Ucase(sStr) like "*VERTICAL*"
