Default Programming Formula for Cond. Format yields different formula

I'm trying to set conditional formatting constraints programmatically. I
started out constructing the conditions equation from variables but, in
troubleshooting, have simplified to the point where I'm basically just
writing the string directly - AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK!!!

My code is below. The old conditional formatting gets deleted and new
formatting goes to the right cell. It's just that the wrong formula (and not
always the same) is there when I check via Format/Cells. For example, for
the first condition formula I've seen both "=$J2 = U$2" and "=$J2 = X$2"
(instead of "=$J3 = U$2"). The second conditional formula seems to always
follow the first as far as what deviates from what I'm trying to apply.

With ActiveSheet.Range(Cells(PCTROW, intColN + 1), Cells(PCTROW, intCol1 +
intNumWks - 1))
.FormatConditions.Delete
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, _
Formula1:="=$J3 = U$2"
.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = RED
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, _
Formula1:="=$J3 = U$1"
.FormatConditions(2).Interior.ColorIndex = BLUE
.Interior.ColorIndex = GREEN
End With

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Will
