Getting an Error when data entered is 4 letters but three or less works perfectly.

[dkassin]

I have macro where we enter between 1 and 4 characters into a user form. The macro is working perfect except it returns an error when 4 characters are entered.

The error reads as follows.
Run-time error '-21473552571 (80020005)':
Could not set the Value propert. Type mismatch.

What does this mean? and How do I correct it?

How can anyone help you without seeing the code?

Yellow text is where the debugger says the error occurs

[JKwan]

what you posted gives us very little to go on. can you post the workbook, strip out sensitive info if need to?

[dkassin]

The problem seems to be occurring when the userform tries to import data from the workbook.

It would be helpful to know the value of the cell and the data type of the array

[Paul_Hossler]

My crystal ball is a little fuzzy, but is it possible that the Cells(2,68).value is a formula that is returning an error?

[vba]
tbhs.Value = Cells(2, 68).Value

[/vba]

Other than that, you really will need to post a workbook that shows the error condition

Paul

[Kenneth Hobs]

As Paul said, if you have an error like Division by 0 in the cell, that will happen. You can use On Error Resume Next or check the type of value before "importing" it or use Cstr() which would show Error 2007 in your textbox for Division by 0 errors.

e.g.
[VBA]Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
TextBox1.Value = CStr(Cells(2, 68).Value)
End Sub
[/VBA]

[VBA]Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
If Not IsError(Cells(2, 68)) Then TextBox1.Value = Cells(2, 68).Value
End Sub[/VBA]
