Default Transpose technique not populating ListFillRange of ActiveX combobox

I'm using a Forms combobox to make a selection from a horizontal range
named "Labels".

This code works on the Forms combobox:

' Add combo box 1 for channel 1
ActiveSheet.DropDowns.Add(0, 63.75, 82.5, 15.75).Select
With Selection
.ListFillRange = ""
.List =
Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(Range("Lab els"))
End With

I'd like to use the richer ActiveX combobox instead to use features
such as MatchEntry.

Naturally, I tried using the same Transpose technique with an ActiveX
combobox but without success:

' create combo box with the Controls toolbar
Dim myCB As OLEObject
Set myCB = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.Combo Box.
1", Link:=False, _
DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=0, Top:=127.5, Width:=82.5,
Height:=12.75 _
)

myCB.ListFillRange =
Application.WorksheetFunction.Transpose(Range("Lab els"))
ERROR:"Run-time error '13: Type mis-match"


I can make it work if I set the ListFillRange to a transposed range of
"Labels" but that isn't as satisfying as using the Transpose function.

I'm missing something real basic here but can't figure it out.

Anyone?
