Runtime Error 381 Couldn't set list property, invalid array index
 

I opened a 97 spreadsheet in 2003 and now each time a user form is
initialized a runtime error comes up in the following line in the vba
code:

ComboDeptNum.List = Sheets("Definitions").Range("$J$1:$I$12")

It is the same thing if I specify a named range:
ComboDeptNum.List = Sheets("Definitions").Range("DeptList")


This exact same codes works fine in 97 and the security is set to low
in 2003. The number of columns is set propoerly but the list box just
won't load values. I'm a newbie to Excel vba but have more experience
with Access and never saw this 381 in Access.

Thanx in advance for help on this.
