Any ideas why this formula won't work in VBA but will in the worksheet? The responses tab exists. How should it be updated? THANK YOU!

Code:
    ActiveCell = "=IF(VLOOKUP(E2,Responses!E:R,8,FALSE)=0,"",(VLOOKUP(E2,Responses!E:R,6,FALSE)))"
    Range("J2").Select
 

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.

Double the quote marks (Bold Red above) so VBA recognizes them as part of a string.
