Sudden issue with: DrawingObject.Formula = ""

We have several spreadsheets that use VBA to assign a named range to a shape. Basically, another macro draws a picture inside a range named "CS". Then, the chunk of code below assigns the named range to the shape. A picture of the range will show in the shape. This has worked forever. In fact, it still works on my computer. But on my coworkers machine, it has suddenly started kicking out a '1004' error when it tries to set the DrawingObject.Formula = "".

I've checked it on other computers in the office and it works on theirs.

If I select the shape and type =CS into the formula bar, I don't get an error, but the picture doesn't update anymore.

If I select the shape and delete what is in the formula bar, (setting the formula value to ""), I get an error.

Again, this works on everyone else's computer. I've tried every setting in Options I can think of and checked references, but I'm stumped.

Figured I'd take it to the masses.

Administrative Note:

Welcome to the forum.

We would very much like to help you with your query, however you need to include code tags around your code.

Please take a moment to add the tags. Posting code between [code]Please [url=https://www.excelforum.com/login.php]Login or Register [/url] to view this content.[/code] tags makes your code much easier to read and copy for testing, and it also maintains VBA formatting.

Please see Forum Guideline #2 about code tags and adjust accordingly. Click on Edit to open your post, then highlight your code and click the # icon at the top of your post window. More information about these and other tags can be found here.

Because you are new here, I have added them for you.

Rule 7: Cross-posting Without Telling Us

Your post does not comply with Rule 3 of our Forum RULES. Do not cross-post your question on multiple forums without telling us about your threads on other forums.

Post a link to any other forums where you have asked the same question.

Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

Read this to understand why we ask you to do this.

I have added the crosspost reference for you today. Please comply with this and all our rules in the future

However, if you continue to crosspost, you can expect to have your thread BLOCKED until you update it yourself.
