Fmincon Error Message please help!

When I try to run

pO = [5350 535 1000 1200 0.00002 30 100 0.912 500 15 120000 800000 0.00004 2.5 0.009263 4.3 1 0.01 0.076 15 0.01 1.27 0.001 0.5 10 18 1.09 0.002 0.001];

ub = [53500 5350 5000 2000 0.00005 100 300 1.5 1000 30 400000 10000000 0.00008 5 0.02 10 2 0.05 0.1 40 0.05 2.7 0.002 1 12 20 1.11 0.005 0.005];

p = fmincon(@Obj_Complex,pO,[],[],[],[],lb,ub);

it gives me this error

Error in fmincon (line 568)

initVals.f = feval(funfcn{3},X,varargin{:});

Error in Fancy (line 8)

p = fmincon(@Obj_Complex,pO,[],[],[],[],lb,ub);

Caused by:

Failure in initial objective function evaluation. FMINCON cannot continue.

[Steven Lord]

Since the error occurs in your objective function, without seeing the code of Obj_Complex it will be impossible to offer any specific guidance.

[Walter Roberson]

In order to get that error at that line of code, your function Obj_Complex had to have generated an error message when evaluated passing in p0. You can see the error by executing

Obj_Complex(p0)
