Default Error putting a formula in a cell with vba

VBA is USA centric.

Try using commas instead of semicolons in your formula.

Hi there!
I try to put a "sum" formula in a cell:

Sub putformula()
Dim suma As String
With Worksheets(1).Activate
Cells(61, 3).Activate
i = 4
j = 27
suma = "=sum(indirect(address(" & i & ";3;4)) :
indirect(address(" & j & ";3;4)))"
ActiveCell.Formula = suma
End With
End Sub

When I run the macro i get the Run time error, 1004 error message,
Application-defined or object-defined error
If I copy the suma string from the locals window (suma =
"=sum(indirect(address(4;3;4)) : indirect(address(27;3;4)))") and paste
it mannualy in the cell, the formula works (it makes the sum(c4:c27).
If i define suma="=sum(c4:c27)" i don't receive any error message, the
macro works. I can't figure it out what i have done wrong. Thank you.
