Looping to update another sheet

[Billy B]

This is my first attempt to program in Excel and I have hit a brick wall.

I have data on sheet(1) that looks like this:

Category Name Org Page Keyword (This row is column
titles)
Student Timothy WWC 1 Tim (Row begins
data(Sheet1 A5)
Carmen SFCC 1 Car
William CBCC 2 Bill
Sheryl PCC 2 Sherry
Thomas RRC 2 Tom
Instructor Wallace BMCC 1 Wally
etc.....

What I am trying to do is get the category, concantenate the names with ;
and a space, concantenate the org with ; and a space, the page and
concantenate the keyword with ; and space and update the information on
sheet(2). There would be a new line for each page under each category. The
result on page 2 would look like this:

Category Name Org
Page Keyword
Student Timothy; Carmen WWC; SFCC 1 Tim;
Car
William; Sheryl; Thomas CBCC; PCC; RRC 2
Bill; Sherry; Tom
Instructor Wallace; BMCC; 1
Wally;

etc.
No blank lines between the categories an if each label line is blank exit
the sub.

Below is the code I have been working on:

Option Explicit
'create range variables for each column in sheet(1)
Dim rngS1Cat As Range, rngS1Nam As Range, rngS1Org As Range, rngS1Pg As
Range, rngS1Key As Range

'create variables to hold values of the cells

'create variable as range and set range to count categories
Dim rngCountCat As Range, intThereIs As Integer

'create variable to replace row number in offset argument

intRC1 = 1
intRC2 = 2
intRC3 = 3
intRC4 = 4
intRC5 = 5

'Dim intColumnCounter As Integer

'create counter for for category loop
intCountCat = 1

'establish data in the first row of sheet(1)
Set rngS1Cat = Application.Sheets(1).Range("A5")
Set rngS2Cat = Application.Sheets(2).Range("A5")

Set rngS1Cat = rngS1Cat(intRC1, intRC1)

I forgot to mention that the problem is in the MakeList procedure. The
Category procedure does work. Because I haven't been able to get the Makelist
to work, I am not sure the Category procedure works in the loop after the
Makelist is run.

Thank you. I have been working on this problem for over 2 days now.
