Here's a tip, don't use error handlers until your code is fully tested because you are switching off helpful messages
Use Val to convert to numeric, by default your code in a userform is using Strings because TextBox value, ComboBoxe values etc default to Strings
'set variables for number of sheet
x = Val(Me.cboNum.Value)
'set variable for sheet name prefix
y = Val(Me.cboNum
cut and paste it into word, highlight it then use alt x to see its unicode value.
a normal minus is \u002d but your minus is \u2013.
Instead of pasting t word,, you can paste the character into the top box at is https://www.branah.com/unicode-converter. That is a nice website for converting unicode text to unicode \u notation and the decimal equivalent.
By the way \u2013 is an En dash which is used to signify a range. for instance januayr endash december. Or atlantic endash pacific
