If Cells(1, 1).Value = "#VALUE!" Then
...

... doesnt work.

You can do it this way:

If ActiveCell.Value = CVErr(xlErrValue) Then
MsgBox "value error"
End If

more general is:

If IsError(ActiveCell.Value) Then
MsgBox "the cell contains an error value"
End If

You can use a combination of IsError and CVErr, something like:


Code
-------------------

If IsError(Cells(1, 1).Value) Then

If Cells(1,1).Value = CVErr(xlErrValue) Then

MsgBox "#Value Error in Cell"

Else

MsgBox "Other Error in Cell"

End If

Else

MsgBox "No Error in Cell"

End If

-------------------
