OFFSET with variables

I am trying to OFFSET from cell A1 based upon a variable in cell A2. The cell I need to OFFSET to is also located in column A, but it could always differ based upon the variable in A2. Here is the piece of code performing this OFFSET.

'The current activecell is A1

 
Dim ClaimNum As Integer
ClaimNum = Range("A2").Value
Activecell.Offset(ClaimNum,0).Select

Originally, there was no error message; however, the cell was not offsetting (unless I changed the column reference, but it would move along Row 1, and never to another Row, which is the intent). Now I am getting a mismatch error. I tried using Find as well, but got the 1004 error. I am working across multiple spreadsheets, which may be part of the issue.

Any thoughts??? Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
