Automated Link Change

I'm working on a spreadsheet that contains 131 rows (+1 for field names). Each row contains eight columns, four of which contain links to other files. I am working on a macro that first asks a user to enter a directory name, validates it as an existing directory and then replaces each link with a link to the same filename but in a different directory. My code works fine for the first two steps, and it seems to me that it should work fine for the final step--and it does--, but it seems to stall after 28 rows of replacement... at which point i receive a "Run-Time Error '1004': Application-defined or object-defined error."

Please take a look at the code and let me know if you see where there may be a problem. It seems odd to me that it works just fine until it hits that given cell. Any ideas? I thank you in advance for any help! :)

Here is the code:

Code:
Option Explicit

Function DirExists(ByVal DName As String) As Boolean

    Dim sDummy As String

    On Error Resume Next

    If Right(DName, 1) <> "\" Then DName = DName & "\"
    sDummy = Dir$(DName & "*.*", vbDirectory)
    DirExists = Not (sDummy = "")

End Function

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

    Dim BandNo As Double
    Dim Community As String
    Dim NewFile As String

    Dim NewDir As String
    NewDir = ChangeLinkedDir.TextBox1.Value
    If Right(NewDir, 1) = "\" Then
        NewDir = Left(NewDir, Len(NewDir) - 1)
    End If

    If DirExists(NewDir) And NewDir <> "" Then

        Dim i As Integer

        For i = 1 To 131

            BandNo = Cells(1 + i, 1).Value
            Community = Cells(1 + i, 2).Value
            NewFile = NewDir & "\[" & BandNo & " " & Community & ".xls]"

            Cells(1 + i, 3).Value = "=SUM('" & NewFile & "Summary Table'!$C$50:$E$50)"

            ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select

        Next i

    Else

        MsgBox "This directory is invalid.", vbCritical, "Invalid Directory"

    End If

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.
It seems that Excel didn't want me to have any single quotation marks (') in the filenames... go figure.

Thanks anyways!
