Error when entering formula using VBA

I have a formula that I'm using which works and gives me the right value.

Code:
=COUNTIF(bommech[PO1 No],"")+COUNTIF(bomelec[Procurement Status],G4)

However when I try and enter the exact same formula through VBA using, I get "Run-time error 1004: Application defined or object defined error". I don't see why the formula will work when I enter it directly into Excel but it won't enter the formula through VBA.

Code:
ActiveSheet.Range("H4").formula = "=COUNTIF(bommech[PO1 No],"")+COUNTIF(bomelec[Procurement Status],G4)"
 

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
Try

Rich (BB code):
ActiveSheet.Range("H4").Formula = "=COUNTIF(bommech[PO1 No],"""")+COUNTIF(bomelec[Procurement Status],G4)"

You are welcome. Essentially, you need to double up any quotes within a formula to be entered using VBA.
