Hi all, the below macro has been working fine for years and is not working anymore since today. I am on a Mac.

It blocks each time it tries going through the "=RGB" functions such as the following, which returns Run-time error 5 "Invalid procedure, call or argument".
ElseIf Target.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 94, 94)

Can anyone please help?

VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
  
    If Target.Column = Range("Inventory_ID").Column Then
        If Target.Interior.Color = 16777215 Then
            Range(Target, Range("Inventory_Note").Offset(Target.Row - Range("Inventory_ID").Row)).Interior.Color = RGB(255, 94, 94)
            Range("Inventory_Available").Offset(Target.Row - Range("Inventory_ID").Row) = "N"
        ElseIf Target.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 94, 94) Then
            Range(Range("Inventory_ID").Offset(Target.Row - Range("Inventory_ID").Row), Range("Inventory_Note").Offset(Target.Row - Range("Inventory_ID").Row)).Interior.Color = RGB(255, 204, 153)
            Range("Inventory_Available").Offset(Target.Row - Range("Inventory_ID").Row) = "N"
        ElseIf Target.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 204, 153) Then
            Range(Range("Inventory_ID").Offset(Target.Row - Range("Inventory_ID").Row), Range("Inventory_Note").Offset(Target.Row - Range("Inventory_ID").Row)).Interior.Color = xlNone
            Range("Inventory_Available").Offset(Target.Row - Range("Inventory_ID").Row) = "Y"
        'ElseIf Target.Interior.Color = RGB(255, 127, 0) Then
        '    Range(Range("Inventory_ID").Offset(Target.Row - Range("Inventory_ID").Row), Range("Inventory_Note").Offset(Target.Row - Range("Inventory_ID").Row)).Interior.Color = RGB(150, 131, 236)
        'ElseIf Target.Interior.Color = RGB(150, 131, 236) Then
        '    Range(Range("Inventory_ID").Offset(Target.Row - Range("Inventory_ID").Row), Range("Inventory_Note").Offset(Target.Row - Range("Inventory_ID").Row)).Interior.Color = xlNone
        End If
    ElseIf (Target.Column = Range("Inventory_Online").Column Or Target.Column = Range("Inventory_Signed").Column Or Target.Column = Range("Inventory_COA").Column Or Target.Column = Range("Inventory_Framed").Column Or Target.Column = Range("Inventory_Buy_Invoice").Column) And Target.Row > Range("Inventory_Online").Row And Target.Row <= Range("Inventory_ID").End(xlDown).Row Then
        If Target.Value = "Y" Then
            Target.Value = "N"
        ElseIf Target.Value = "N" Then
            Target.Value = "Y"
        Else:
            Target.Value = "N"
        End If
    End If
   
    Cancel = True
   
End Sub

Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
What happens when you type ?RGB(0,00) in the Immediate Window
@mickerison, I am not sure how to verify that through the Immediate Window. However the below works:

Range(Target, Range("Inventory_Note").Offset(Target.Row - Range("Inventory_ID").Row)).Interior.Color = RGB(0, 0, 0)

But I got an error when the numbers are not 255, 94 and 94, which used to work for me.

Thinking about it, I have recently changed computer for a new Macbook Pro 13''. May it be that some RGB colours do not work?

Put “On Error GoTo 0” immediately below Sub and see what line is highlighted.

@kanadaaa thanks but as said the error is here on the first time the macro runs into the RGB function:

Range(Target, Range("Inventory_Note").Offset(Target.Row - Range("Inventory_ID").Row)).Interior.Color = RGB(255, 94, 94)
