Double Quote Leading to Apostrophe Problem

T

ToferKing

I am writing VB code lines like this:

Range("m6").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=TEXT(L6, ""0.00"")"

When I go to the workbook and run this code I end up with an error in cell
M6 telling me that I have a Name problem.

The actual entry that is dumped into cell M6 is:

=TEXT('L6', "0.00")

Truly! The L6 has an apostrophe preceeding it and behind it. If I edit the
cell and remove the apostrophes then cell M6 has the correct formula in it.

Why are the double quotes leading to an apostrophe problem with the cell
reference of L6? What do I need to change in my coding to make this problem
go away?

try

Sub putvalue()
With Range("m6")
..Value = Range("L6")
..NumberFormat = ("0.00")
End With
End Sub

Yep, that did it! I dropped out R1C1 and the apostrophes went away.

Thanks ever so much.
