a few things:

It probably just copied poorly into the newsgroup, but your formula is all
on one line in VB?

Is there any validation already in cell? I get the same error message when
this occurs. You could add something like

ActiveCell.Validaition.Delete

to clear out any previous validation.

I've posted about this error before, but no one can seem to figure it out.
I'm validating the input in a spreadsheet that is created by VBA. The
validation criteria works just fine when I enter it into the custom
validation box:
=AND(LEN(B7)=7,ISNUMBER(MID(B7,2,6)*1),CODE(LEFT(U PPER(B7),1))64,CODE(LEFT(UPPER(B7),1))<91)

When I put that same forumla into VBA, as validation criteria, it looks
like:

..Add Type:=xlValidateCustom, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:= _
xlBetween, Formula1:="=AND(LEN(B7)=7,ISNUMBER(MID(B7,2,6)*1)
,CODE(LEFT(UPPER(B7),1))64,CODE(LEFT(UPPER(B7),1) )<91)"

This line gives a Application defined or object defined error. I've run the
first term (LEN(B7)=7 separately, and it runs fine. But the second term,
ISNUMBER(MID(B7,2,6)*1)
,CODE(LEFT(UPPER(B7),1))64,CODE(LEFT(UPPER(B7),1) )<91)

doesn't run. So does anyone see what is causing the problem?
Thanks in advance!
