I would eliminate the lines indicated
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim Left_Value as Variant, Right_Value As Variant
'Set Left_Value = Nothing '<= eliminate
'Set Right_Value = Nothing '<= eliminate


set should only be used with object and you are not using Left_Value and
Right_Value as Objects.

Tom,

It seems my last reply got lost. What I can't figure out is why the
following code does not work. Can you see anything obvious that would be
giving me trouble? I am using windows XP and Excel 2003. The error I get
is
"Type mismatch (Error 13)" I have re-posted my code for better
visibility.
I am sure it is not the most efficient or elegant approach but I am very
new
to VBA. Can you offer any suggestions?

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)

Dim Left_Value, Right_Value As Variant
Set Left_Value = Nothing
Set Right_Value = Nothing

If Target.Column = 13 Then '<----M
Left_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([-1], [-1]).Text
Right_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([+1], [-1]).Text
[b2] = Left_Value
[af2] = Right_Value
'
ElseIf Target.Column = 14 Then '<----N
Left_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([-2], [-1]).Text
Right_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([+2], [-1]).Text
[b2] = Left_Value
[af2] = Right_Value
'
ElseIf Target.Column = 15 Then '<----O
Left_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([-4], [-1]).Text
Right_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([+4], [-1]).Text
[b2] = Left_Value
[af2] = Right_Value
'
ElseIf Target.Column = 16 Then '<----P
Left_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([-8], [-1]).Text
Right_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([+8], [-1]).Text
[b2] = Left_Value
[af2] = Right_Value
'
ElseIf Target.Column = 18 Then '<----R
Left_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([-7], [-2]).Text
Right_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([+25], [-2]).Text
[b2] = Left_Value
[af2] = Right_Value
'
ElseIf Target.Column = 20 Then '<----T
Left_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([-25], [2]).Text
Right_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([+7], [2]).Text
[b2] = Left_Value
[af2] = Right_Value
'
ElseIf Target.Column = 22 Then '<----V
Left_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([-8], [2]).Text
Right_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([+8], [2]).Text
[b2] = Left_Value
[af2] = Right_Value

ElseIf Target.Column = 24 Then '<----X
Left_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([-4], [1]).Text
Right_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([+4], [1]).Text
[b2] = Left_Value
[af2] = Right_Value
'
ElseIf Target.Column = 25 Then '<----Y
Left_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([-2], [1]).Text
Right_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([2], [1]).Text
[b2] = Left_Value
[af2] = Right_Value

ElseIf Target.Column = 26 Then '<----Z
Left_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([-1], [1]).Text
Right_Value = ActiveCell.Offset([1], [1]).Text
[b2] = Left_Value
[af2] = Right_Value

End If
End Sub
Thanks,

No - as an example

Sub ABCD()
v = Int(Rnd() * 12 + 1)
If v = 1 Then
MsgBox 1
ElseIf v = 2 Then
MsgBox 2
ElseIf v = 3 Then
MsgBox 3
ElseIf v = 4 Then
MsgBox 4
ElseIf v = 5 Then
MsgBox 5
ElseIf v = 6 Then
MsgBox 6
ElseIf v = 7 Then
MsgBox 7
ElseIf v = 8 Then
MsgBox 8
ElseIf v = 9 Then
MsgBox 9
ElseIf v = 10 Then
MsgBox 10
Else
MsgBox "10"
End If
End Sub

works fine.
