Trying to demo Code, but get error
 

On page 189 of Excel 2003 Programming - Inside/Out an
Example is given to set Validation criteria for 10 cells in Column C

Before Entering anything into cells C2:C11 I created (in a std module):

Sub Tester()
With ActiveSheet.Range("C2:C11").Validation
..Add Type:=xlValidateWholeNumber, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, _
Operator:=xlLessEqual, Formula1:="5000"
..InputTitle = "Credit Limit"
..ErrorTitle = "Credit Limit too High"
..InputMessage = "Enter the Customer's Credit Limit."
..ErrorMessage = "The Credit limit must be less than $5,000."
End With
End Sub

Stepping thru the code I get a R/T error 1004;
Can anyone assist me in determining why?

There doesn't seem to be any errata available for this book.

TIA,

Jim May

Jim,

It worked fine for me.

Is the worksheet protected perchance?

If I ran it a second time, I got an error -- it's trying to add validation rules
to a range that already has rules.

But you could add a line to delete any existing rules before you add the new
ones:

With ActiveSheet.Range("C2:C11").Validation
.Delete
....rest of code

Thanks Guys and A Happy New Year to 'ya
Obviously, I was running more than Once;
The .Delete remedied it

Is there a way I can (In the Immediate window)
Determine the current Validation range (C2:C11)
Like:
? ValidationRange.Address
C2:C11 <<Results

Thanks,

Jim May
