I'm tryng to write a statement for the following:
if a or b are typed in cell than 5 is the multiplier, if c is typed in cell
than 10 is multiplier, if m is typed in cell than 15 is multiplier, anything
else would give an error code. help appreciated. using excel 2000.

Try

=IF(OR(A2="a",A2="B"),5,IF(A2="c",10,IF(A2="m",15,"Error Value in A2")))

Since you asked for an "error code", try this for brevity:

=VLOOKUP(A1,{"a",5;"b",5;"c",10;"m",15},2,0)
