    Have you stepped through the code with F8 to see what's happening?

    Also, try putting a breakpoint on these 2 lines with F9,

    then run the code and see what happens.
    If posting code please use code tags, see here.

    Hi, danex,

    to me sounds like maybe additional trailing blanks behind the value that you compare in your workbook:

    Re: IF-THEN-ELSE not working properly

    That is because by saying UCase(FNTotQty) you are changing any value in Range B43 to be uppercase. Example: if the value in B43 is qty then UCase(FNTotQty) will make it QTY. It should already be case specific so just remove the UCase statement. Example

    Re: IF-THEN-ELSE not working properly

    hi all.

    thanks for the response. I was probably just pretty overwhelmed with all the programming languages i wanted to learn. I realized I was pointing to the wrong worksheet. the ws in Workbooks(wb).Worksheets(ws).Range("B43") should not have been ws.

    By the way, how do I close this thread?
