Dear Experts,
I'm using Excel XP and keep hitting error with the following code on line 3.
1 With sheet1.Range("E3").Validat
2 .Delete
3 .Add Type:=xlValidateList, Formula1:="a,b,c,d"
4 .IgnoreBlank = True
5 .InCellDropdown = True
6 End With
The error is "Run-time error '1004': Application-defined or object-defined error". If I move line 4 or line 5 to above line 3, I get the same error on those lines.
Appreciate if you could help fix the problem.
Thanks.

Dear remarkl
I wasn't even on SP1 and I thought the answer was simply ... version!
I'm now on SP2, still having the same problem. Definitely no typo, I copied the code from VB editor. Is there anything I need to install? Settings to be done? I opened a new workbook, add a button, paste the code, hit the button and I get the error.
Please help.
Thanks.
No No No No No. You have to say Oogabooga only once. If you can't follow instructions, we can't help you.
I would probably reinstall Excel at this point. It would probably be a mistake, and it would probably not help. but dammit, it's what I'd probably do.
The only thing I can offer is a testbed. If you want to send me your workbook, I will run it on my machine and see what happens.

I just ran this code on a new worksheet:
Sub badcode()
With Sheet1.Range("E3").Validat
.Delete
.Add Type:=xlValidateList, Formula1:="a,b,c,d"
.IgnoreBlank = True
.InCellDropdown = True
End With
End Sub
It worked perfectly. I'm using XL 2002, SP-2.
Typo? Old version? Nothing to debug, though.
