Type Mismatch Error only on second iteration of code

Hi. I am managing a datasheet in which subjects have taken a survey (only those under age 17). I wrote a script to fill the remaining blank cells (w/out data) with the value 999 if the participant either is not included in study (column 3 cell value = 0) or if their age is >= 18. The script runs anytime the sheet experiences a change.

The script works great the first time I implement it and fills the blank cells correctly with 999's. However, if I then make a minor change (ex. change col 3 value from 1 to 0 to test) I get a type mismatch error on any subsequent iteration of the now updated sheet.

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Dim i As Integer
For i = 5 To 300
      If IsBlank(Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, "A")) Then
           Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("D" & i & ":JF" & i).Value = ""         ' # If no SubID then keep blank#
      ElseIf Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, 4).Value <> 999 And Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, 3).Value = 0 Then
           Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("D" & i & ":JF" & i).Value = 999      ' #If  not already filled with 999 & Include = 0 then fill w/ 999#
      ElseIf Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, 4).Value <> 999 And Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, "D").Value = "" And Worksheets("Subject Info").Cells(i + 10, "F").Value >= 18 Then
           Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("D" & i & ":JF" & i).Value = 999     ' #If  not already filled with 999 & Age >= 18 then fill w/ 999 unless data exists in cells#
      End If
Next I
End Sub

Public Function IsBlank(ByRef rngToCheck As Range) As Boolean
    IsBlank = (CStr(rngToCheck.Cells(1).Value2) = vbNullString)
End Function

Relevant Info:
Excel Version 14.0.7188.5002 (32-Bit) - 2010
"Sheet1" column A and C (3 in code) are either numbers (1 or 0 in column 3, 1 - ~150 in column 1, else are "" as result of formula)
"Sheet1" column 4 is the start of data - all numbers


I've googled the problem extensively and searched the forum. I don't understand why the script runs the first time I try it but fails on subsequent attempts with the now updated sheet.

Thanks in advance!
 

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Welcome to the Forum!

On which line of code are you getting the Type Mismatch error?

You have set:
Code:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
so this Worksheet_Change Sub won't be running a second time, unless you have set .ScreenUpdating to True somewhere else?
