SYMPTOMS
In the versions of Microsoft Excel listed above, if you use the ActiveCell property in conjunction with the FormulaArray property, the resulting formula may not be entered as an array, as in the following example: ActiveCell.FormulaArray = "=SUM(A1:A10)"



WORKAROUND
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. To work around this problem, use the Offset method to accomplish the same effect, as in the following example: ActiveCell.Offset(0, 0).FormulaArray = "=SUM(A1:A10)"



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows and Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition.
