Thanks for you help. Replacing the use of str did not work. It was actually
the string itself, which was:
..leftfooter = "-- = A" & vbcr & "--- = B"

for some reason the footer property does not like the the dashes and equal
sign.

Is the use of Str that is the problem, as this is a VBA function.

here is the code:

Sub Procedure1()
********
Sheet1.Select
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.RightFooter = "&6" & str
End With
End Sub

Sub Procedure2()
********
Sheet1.Select
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftFooter = "&6" & str
End With
End Sub

Again, one or the other works, but not both.

I have an application where a macro adds left and right footers.
However,
once the code assigns the left footer, the macro generates an error
saying
"Unable to set the RightFooter property of PageSetup Class."

If the right footer is assigned first, the same error is genearted for
the
left footer.

Any insights?
