This is for VB in MS Excel, should be a small and simple
routine, but .. wow what a crummy documentation package.
Search for "conditional" or "or" in Excel's VB help file and see what it tells you, shameful. Anyway, I can't figure out why this doesn't work;

If ActiveCell.Value = "xxxx" OR "xxxx1" then (blahblah)

The compilation error reports it as a type mismatch.

Devolving the statement into;

If ActiveCell.Value = "xxxx" then (blahblah)

works just fine, as does

If ActiveCell.Value = "xxxx1"


Anyway, sorry to bug yall with such a lamebrained question, but .. yeah, VB docs that are actually useful .. um .. maybe
Microsoft will sell them to me but I cant find them on the internet.

BTW, If anyone knows a good web based resource for a C language programmer / Linux afficianado using VB, I would sure appreciate a link.

i thought VB was ok with that. but if not try both complete conditions seperated by OR.

Eureka!

If ActiveCell.Value = "xxxx" Or ActiveCell.Value = "xxxx1" Then

.. Thats the sauce, gracias.

Best forum ever, (and nadroj too), thank you and have a nice day.
