Good Morning all
a few years ago in an old job some one helped me create this piece of code which adds a comment box once someone adds anything to a cell
i'm getting a run time error

can you please help
thank you Jason


error:
Target.Comment.Shape.TextFrame.Characters(1, Len(Application.UserName)).Font.Bold = True






<code>
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
'changes the cells to UPPERCASE
If Intersect(Target, Range("A1:AH100")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub

Application.EnableEvents = False
Target = UCase(Target)
Application.EnableEvents = True

'Adds a comment box to each cell when somthing is added to the cell

If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Or IsEmpty(Target) Then Exit Sub
If Not Target.Comment Is Nothing Then Target.Comment.Delete
Target.AddComment Text:=Application.UserName & vbNewLine & Date & vbNewLine & Time
Target.Comment.Shape.TextFrame.Characters(1, Len(Application.UserName)).Font.Bold = True


End Sub
</code>

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
Your code does not fail with Office 365

I suspect it is something else in your workbook causing the problem
To eliminate the possibility that this is an Excel version problem etc, test the code yourself in a NEW workbook and let us know the result of that test
