Invalid watch expression
 

I looked in Walkenbach and did a search here, but couldn't find
anything in either about this error when I run a line of code in the
Immediate window, "Invalid Watch Expression". Does anyone know what it
means?

Invalid watch expression
 

Is the object fully qualified, i.e. not something like

?.Range("A1").Value

but

?activeworkbook.Range("A1").Value

That is effectively a print statement in the immediate window. Very useful
when debugging to stop execution at some point and check the value of a
variable. Similar to watch, but not updated as the value changes, but you
can also get the values of items that are not in the code but may give you
cause for concern.

Thanks for the explanation, Bob.
