Run-time error '-2147024809 (80070057') The index into the specified collection is out of bounds

Please bear with me...learning as I go
I have a macro that I have run successfully in Excel for the past two years but continue to get the following message on my latest project: "Run-time error '-2147024809 (80070057') The index into the specified collection is out of bounds". I am referencing more shapes than I have done in previous iterations (204 shapes in file) but not sure if that has anything to do with the issue. The macro follows:

Sub MapMacro()
<code style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, "Lucida Console", "Liberation Mono", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Courier New", monospace, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: inherit; white-space: inherit;">For i =5To207
Range("actReg").Value = Range("A"& i).Value

If ActiveSheet.Name ="Variables"Then
Worksheets("Map").Activate
EndIf

ActiveSheet.Shapes(Range("actReg").Value).Select
Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = Range(Range("actRegCode").Value).Interior.Color

If ActiveSheet.Name ="Map"Then
Worksheets("Variables").Activate
EndIf

Next i

Range("A1").Select
</code>End Sub

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!!!

I get the error when the actReg range has 211 in it because there are only 205 shapes on the sheet, so you can't select shape 211.

Also, you could eliminate all that flickering like this:

Sub MapMacro()
    Dim mapSheet As Worksheet
    Dim varSheet As Worksheet
    
    Set mapSheet = Worksheets("Map")
    Set varSheet = Worksheets("Variables")
    
    For i = 5 To 207
        varSheet.Range("actReg").Value = varSheet.Range("A" & i).Value
        mapSheet.Shapes(Range("actReg").Value).Fill.ForeColor.RGB = varSheet.Range("actRegCode").Interior.Color
    
    Next i

End Sub

Many thanks (sometimes the solution is simple)!!! Worked for the first few and assume it will work for the rest...will just go through and rename shapes to include verbiage as well as numbers and should run perfectly....much appreciated!
