Okay, so if I understand you correctly, you are trying to test whether
DataRange is pointing to a range or not. And, for some reason, you want to use a Select Case instead of the If-Then test you already know how to do. I don't think you can do it that way. Well, I guess you could do this... Select Case True Case DataRange Is Nothing ...... Case Else ...... End Select but, personally, I hate using True that way... when you do, the Case statements are really nothing more than If-Then-Else blocks, so you might as well use If-Then-Else. Rick "J@Y" wrote in message ... My variables are range variables. I set them using something like: Set DataRange = Range("a1", "c1") I know they can be assigned nothing because I can use If Not DataRange Is Nothing Then to test each individual variable "Rick Rothstein (MVP - VB)" wrote: I am trying to test multiple variables to see if they have been assigned nothing. I tried: Select Case Nothing but seems you can't use Nothing like you use True/False. How would I about this problem? What is the data type of the variables you are trying to check? If they are a numeric data type, VB automatically assigns 0 (in the appropriate data type) to them at their creation, so you can't test whether a value has been assigned to them or not. If they are Strings, then they start life as a NullString and you can test for this using If YourStringVariable = vbNullString Then... If the are Variants, you can test if anything has been assigned to it using the IsEmpty function, like this If IsEmpty(YourVariantVariable) Then... Rick |
