"SUM" function code

Hi,
I'm trying to write a code that will add the values of a range of cells. The range will always be in column E. It will always start in the cell E8 and finish on the last used cell in that column. The sum is meant to be displayed in the cell below last.
Sounds simple enough, doesn't it?
This is what I've got:

Sub AddValues()
Range("E65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=Sum(E8:R[-1]C)"
End Sub

Every time I run the macro an apostrophe gets added on each side of E8 (it becomes 'E8') and an error comes up.

Any advise on how to overcome this?
Please.
 

Excel Facts

What is =ROMAN(40) in Excel?
The Roman numeral for 40 is XL. Bill "MrExcel" Jelen's 40th book was called MrExcel XL.
Try this instead:

Sub AddValues()
Range("E65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Value = _
WorksheetFunction.Sum(Range("E8", Range("E8").End(xlDown)))
End Sub

It works well. Thank you Tom.
