in A1 i have the text, "this is a test"

i try to use this select case statement

var1 = "test"

sStr = Range("A1").Value
Select Case sStr
Case sStr Like "*" & var1 & "*"
'do something here


the first case statement is skipped but if i break and hover the mouse over it,
says it equals true. if i go to the immediate window and type
?sStr Like "*" & var1 & "*"
TRUE

it returns true. so why does it skip to the next select case statement? if it's
the only select case statement, it exits the select case without doing anything.
