"End if without block If" - What does that mean?

[easybpw]

Can anyone tell me what that means and how I can go about fixing it. It is an error I encountered when running a macro. I'm very confused.

Thanks,

Bill

Thank you for your reply.

I somehow solved the error now it works fine. I just moved the "xprint=True" on next line. It was on the same line of "IF" command at the start.

Thanks anyway.

You are getting yourself tied up in knots with your "If" statements and your "For" loops

If using nested "For-Next loops" it always helps when using "Next" to include what next it is. eg:

For j = 1 to 100

Next [COLOR=#ff0000][B]j[/B][/COLOR]

I tried fixing your code but got tied up myself. Having structured code helps dodge these common headaches. so for example, I've used a snippet of your code with correct indentation to help reading:

Do
    For i = 1 To 10000
        Line Input [URL="https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1"]#1[/URL] , x
        xStart = False
        If Left(x, 5) = "Plate" Or Left(x, 5) = "Eleme" Then
            Print [URL="https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=2"]#2[/URL] , x
            Line Input [URL="https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1"]#1[/URL] , x
            a$ = x
            For j = 1 To 12
                Line Input [URL="https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1"]#1[/URL] , x
            Next j
        End If
    Next i
Loop
