Luke,

Thank you for your input, when I attempt to qualify that way, the code
does run but the shapes don't fill with the color passed. I would
have assumed it is the correct way to code it but with an unexpected
result.

Thanks again for your response.

Below is a subroutine that passes in 2 variables. *I am concerned with
the word "Selection" used for ShapeRange and would prefer to eliminate

Is selection a keyword for ShapeRange or is there a way to qualify it?

Thanks in advance.

Public Sub CountryColor(ByVal strCountry As String, _

* *Dim i As Integer, dColor1 As Double

ThisWorkbook.Application.ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(" Data").Range("RegionCount*ryData")

* *On Error Resume Next

* *For i = 1 To rgData.Rows.Count

* * * *strShapeNum = rgData.Cells(i, 3).Value

* * * *shtMap.Shapes(strShapeNum).Select
