My problem is
1. I am thick .....
2. I Need help
3. Medical Sceince says I am incurable ..............

I need to use a value from the worksheet to define a value within a macro

' this macro
named Main
a = [[main.xls]input'!V2] ' get value of A from sheet
named & cell
If a < 5 Then NGroup ' go to & run NGroup Marco
If a 5 Then MGroup ' go to & run MGroup Macro

I get a type mismatch error
how do i overcome this ?????
all assistance apreciated

have sorted part of the problem but now have come across a diferent one

a = [[main.xls]input'!V2] ' get value of A
If a < 5 Then NGroup
If a 5 Then Newk
End If
End If
End Sub
but i now get a "End If without Block If"
do i need to put End If statements in NGroup / MGroup

Change

a = [[main.xls]input'!V2]

to

a = Workbooks("Main.xls").Worksheets("Input").Range("V 2").Value

You don't need an End If if you but the "Then" instruction on the same line
as the If.
