Performs one of several blocks of statements for a condition with more than two outcomes. Compares the result of an expression against values in one or more Case statements. Statements in a Case block are only performed if the result of the expression matches the result of the expression in the Select...Case statement. If there is not a match, you can use a Case Else statement to run alternate statements. See Case.
Note: Case statements cannot have multiple delimited values. Define only one value per Case statement.
