You can't use strings as such in a SELECT-CASE. It has to be a numerical variable. You can use single characters such as
SELECT mychar
CASE "A"
or pairs of characters, such as
SELECT mychars
CASE "A" * 256 + "B" ' for string AB, converted to Word variable
but for a four character string I think you would have to do it in two steps, which would be easiest if you can organize your tagstring into meaningful two letter subcatagories.
mycharsA = tagstring(0) * 256 + tagstring(1)
mycharsB = tagstring(2)*256 + tagstring(3)
