Default Help with ActiveCell.HasFormula

Hi,

Can anybody suggest a way of getting the following function to work please,
or tell me why the one I have shown does not work? I want to loop through a
range of cells, and record the cell reference for all cells that contain a
formula, or a couple of text strings:-

For COL = intStartCol To intEndCol
For ROW = intStartRow To intEndRow
ActiveCell = Workbooks(strAnalysisFile) _
.Worksheets(strSourceSheet).Cells(ROW, COL)

' If cell contains a formula, this will be an RF
' Also record locations of N/A and Tens
If ActiveCell.Value = "N/A" Or ActiveCell.Value = "Tens" _
Or ActiveCell.HasFormula = True Then
RfFlag = True
i = i + 1
Workbooks(strThisFile).Worksheets("RF_Locations") _
.Cells(i, j) = (ROW & "," & COL)
End If

Next ROW
Next COL


By changing "ActiveCell.HasFormula = True" to
"Workbooks(strAnalysisFile).Worksheets(strSourceSh eet).Cells(ROW,
COL).HasFormula = True" the test works

Thanks in advance for your help,
Paul.

As an extra snippet of info, the address of ActiveCell remains at $A$1
throughout the above loop: which begs the question, why does the loop find
all the "N/A" and "Tens" strings, but not the formula?
