Hi, I'm a VB newbie and I keep getting this error saying "If block without
End If".  I have pored and pored over this code til I'm blue in the face and
I still see nothing wrong with it.  I guess I need more eyes looking at it.
I hope you guys can help me.  Your help will be greatly appreciated.  The
function that the error appears in is posted below:

Public Function CheckForWin()
