not sure what's happening
IOamworking thru some learningmaterial and have the following code:
Sub Monthupdate() m = Sheets("command").Cells(3, 1) If (m = "January") Then Sheets("Command").Cells(3, 1) = February GoTo lab1: End If At this point the following message is displayed:- <<...OLE_Obj... It appears not to like the GoTo lab1: I can't find any reference to lab1: before this point in the module, will the label need defining? If so how is this done in VB? If you have any suggestions they would be most appreciated. |

lose the ":" at the end of lab1 before the End If. You need the colon on the end of the actual label that you want to jump to Sub Monthupdate() m = Sheets("command").Cells(3, 1) If (m = "January") Then Sheets("Command").Cells(3, 1) = February GoTo lab1 End If ' ' ' lab1: Regards Trevor "Alex H" wrote in message ...

Labels are usually used in VBA as an escape exit in error conditions, and
usually placed near the end of a subroutine, where tidy-up code is entered. To input a label, just enter lab1: on a line all by itself. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Alex H" wrote in message ...

Alex,
You define a lable simply by typing in a name followed by a colon. e.g. Sub WithLabels() StartProc: 'this is a label End Sub Looking at your code as it stands there is no label, so I have rewritten a bit to show what the original author might have intended, and added a better structure below avoiding the Goto. It's useful sometimes, but not a great programming construct. Sub Monthupdate() m = Sheets("command").Cells(3, 1) If (m = "January") Then Sheets("Command").Cells(3, 1) = February GoTo lab1: End If msgbox "The cell does not contain January" lab1: End Sub The better version Sub Monthupdate() m = Sheets("command").Cells(3, 1) If (m = "January") Then Sheets("Command").Cells(3, 1) = February else msgbox "The cell does not contain January" End If End Sub HTH, Robin Hammond www.enhanceddatasystems.com "Alex H" wrote in message ...
