1004 error
 

I have the following piece of code. The Msgbox prints correctly, whereas the
very next line gives the error:
1004: Application defined or object-defined error


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

myRow = Target.Row
MsgBox Cells(myRow, "E") ' prints the message
correctly.
Cells(myRow, "E") = "=$E$3" ' throws the error


Anybody has any idea why I am getting this error.

forgot to mention something. The cell I am changing has a list validation.
If I change it manually, no error, whereas if I change it by clicking on the
drop-down list (data validation), I get the error.

Mangesh,

I tried your code - it did not give any error. It kept redisplaying the
message box since you do not turn off the Application.EnableEvents property
before making a change.

Also just some comments on your code .. it is preferable to not use Cells -
as that is an unqualified reference and has given me some problems in the
past.

With ActiveSheet (or a specific sheet)
.Cells(....)
end with

is preferable.

Hi Alok,

Thanks for the response. Actually I am close to isolating the error. I have
one UDF which if not used in a particular cell, then the error does not
come.

Also, the error comes only when I choose an item by selecting it with the
mouse, and no error when entering manually in the cell.
