In the code below I get a runtime error 13 or error 2036 or error 2007. The program uses Solver in excel to find best fit solutions for a matrix of i and j values by minimising error values (Val8a).

the run time error message occurs at 1 of 2 lines (in bold below).

Val8a = Range("t9").Value

Occurs here because cell t9 has an error. The problem seems to be one with solver also as I have constraints on cells t2, t3, t4 and it doesnt always meet those constraints.

When running the corsor over the error line either an icon for error number 2036 or 2007 appears. As I am not as familiar with VB as I should be can i get it to recognise the error and go back to the previous values which didnt give an error.
I believe limatations with solver may be as much to blame.
Anyone got any ideas? I am very new to programming and VB so hopefully haven't missed something obvious.
