= SYMPTOMS =

When you run a recorded macro, the following message may be displayed:

Run-time error ‘1101’ Argument value not valid

= CAUSE =

This error can occur if you press SHIFT+F8 to add more to the active selection, and you then use the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW key to select data.

= WORKAROUND =

To work around this problem, modify the macro so the SelectTaskField method does not include both the Extend and Add arguments. For example, if the macro recorder writes the method similar to

SelectTaskField Row:=1, Column:=“Name”, Extend:=True, Add:=True

remove the Extend argument.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

= MORE INFORMATION =

When Microsoft Project is recording a macro and the shortcut keys mentioned above are used, the Macro Recorder records a SelectTaskField method and includes the arguments Add:= True and Extend:= True. The Add and Extend arguments are mutually exclusive parameters and cannot be used together.
