FormulaR1C1 not working

I wrote a macro with the following script:

Range("B7").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=HYPERLINK(""c:/foldername/images/""&RC[-1]&"".jpg"",""Image"")"

This works on my machine but when I delivered it to the client, the macro
just copys the script into the cell and not the formula. In other words the
formula does not appear to be valid. It appears as RC[-1] and not A7.

Any ideas as to why this is happening and how I can fix it? If I go into
the actual spreadsheet and replace RC[-1] with A7 and copy that down, the
formula works. So the issue is with the RC[-1].

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

perhaps one of you needs to adjust

Matt,

Make sure that the cell is properly formatted - what you described happens if the cell if formatted
for text. You can do it this way:

With Range("B7")
..NumberFormat = "General"
..FormulaR1C1 = _
"=HYPERLINK(""c:/foldername/images/""&RC[-1]&"".jpg"",""Image"")"
End With
