Insert Value Into Named Cell/Range in Excel

Zones: Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, .NET, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Tags: Visual Basic, Type Mismatch Error 13 and Error 2029 in Excel debugger

I'm trying to insert a value in an Excel 2007 worksheet cell from a VB.NET 2008 application. It looks like the value is being written into the cell correctly, however all the formulas that reference the cell are throwing #NAME? errors causing a type mismatch when looked at in the Excel debugger. The cell I'm trying to set the value for is a named cell/range so I'm not sure if this is causing any of my issues or not, I'm referencing it in my VB application using "A3" style references. Here's the code I'm using to try and set the value.

Any help is appreciated, I'm not sure what's wrong with this code.
