combotext=val(Combo1.text)

Select case combotext

Case 1
....code here

Just like Ryan said just enter the code for each CASE.

In this case (yuk, yuk, yuk) I don't think your saving anything by using Select Case.

Here's the first 3 CASES in code, I'm sure you can handle it from there.

Private Sub cmdGo_Click()

Dim postA As Single
Dim postB As Single

    Select Case combotext
    Case 1
    
        For postA = 0 To 4970 Step 0.1
            Shape1.Left = postA
        Next
        For postB = 11175 To 5550 Step -0.1
            Shape2.Left = postB
        Next
        For postB = 5550 To 11175 Step 0.1
            Shape2.Left = postB
        Next
    
    Case 2
        For postA = 0 To 4970 Step 0.1
            Shape1.Left = postA
        Next
        For postB = 11175 To 5550 Step -0.1
            Shape2.Left = postB
        Next
        For postA = 4970 To 0 Step -0.1
            Shape1.Left = postA
        Next
    
    Case 3
        For postA = 0 To 4970 Step 0.1
            Shape1.Left = postA
        Next
        For postB = 11175 To 5550 Step -0.1
            Shape2.Left = postB
        Next
        For postA = 4970 To 0 Step -0.1
            Shape1.Left = postA
        Next
        For postB = 5550 To 11175 Step 0.1
            Shape2.Left = postB
        Next
        
        ' and so on and so forth until you get to 7
    
    
    End Select

End Sub

BTW...are you using the actual text in the ComboBox or are you using the item.index? You might be safer using the index.

Happy coding
