I am getting a run-time error 438 with no option to debug (just end.) I know the issue is with my linkedcell property but I dont know what is wrong with it.

Thanks

Code:
Sub AddButtonAndCode()
     ' Declare variables
    Dim i As Long, Hght As Long
    Dim Name As String, NName As String
     ' Set the button properties
    i = 0
    Hght = 305.25
     ' Set the name for the button
    NName = "cmdAction" & i
     ' Test if there is a button already and if so, increment its name
    For Each OLEObject In ActiveSheet.OLEObjects
        If Left(OLEObject.Name, 9) = "cmdAction" Then
            Name = Right(OLEObject.Name, Len(OLEObject.Name) - 9)
            If Name >= i Then
                i = Name + 1
            End If
            NName = "cmdAction" & i
            Hght = Hght + 27
        End If
    Next
     ' Add button
    Dim myCmdObj As OLEObject, N%
    With Range("c4")
    Set myCmdObj = ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add(ClassType:="Forms.OptionButton.1", _
    Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False, Left:=.Left + 0.5, Top:=.Top - 0.5, _
    Width:=.Width, Height:=.Height)
    End With
     ' Define buttons name
    myCmdObj.Name = NName
     ' Define buttons caption
    myCmdObj.Object.Caption = ""
  
    myCmdObj.Object.LinkedCell = "A1"
    
    With ThisWorkbook.VBProject.VBComponents(ActiveSheet.CodeName).CodeModule
        N = .CountOfLines
        .InsertLines N + 1, "Private Sub " & NName & "_Click()"
        .InsertLines N + 2, vbNewLine
        .InsertLines N + 3, vbTab & "MsgBox(" & """" & "Button Clicked!" & """" & " & vbCrLf &" & _
        """" & "Put your code here!" & """" & " & vbCrLf & " & """" & "This is " & """" & _
        "& " & """" & NName & """" & ")"
        .InsertLines N + 4, vbNewLine
        .InsertLines N + 5, "End Sub"
   End With
End Sub

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Maybe I'm missing something here, but it looks like you are adding a button to the worksheet? If that's the case, then there is no linked cell property available for a command button.
