Statements or labels invalid between Select Case and first Case

You can place nothing but a comment between the Select Case statement and the first Case clause. This error has the following cause and solution:

• You placed a statement between Select Case and its first Case clause. For example:

  Select Case SomeVar
  ' This is a comment and is valid.
  Stop    ' Even a Stop statement is invalid here.
  Case SomeValue
  . . .
  End Select
  

  The Select Case statement must be immediately followed by its first Case statement. If the intervening expression is a comment, precede it with a comment delimiter ('). Otherwise, place the expression where it belongs or delete it.
