Default Excel problem - why won't my macro work?

I am a beginner at these things, so hopefully it's a simple error I've
made.

I have an excel workbook. On the first page is a master list of
documents, with column G containing a letter denoting the status of the
document (C for current, D for deleted etc.)

I regularly need to issue people with up to date lists of current and
deleted documents, so I wrote this macro to copy the relevant entries
onto seperate worksheets. At the moment it's only looking for Current
entries, but it just won't work.

Anyone have any idea why not? Please tell me it's simple....



Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()

Dim num As String

For i = 2 To 150

num = i

If Worksheets("MASTER LIST").Cells(i, 5) = "C" Then

Range("A" & num:"G" & num).Select

Selection.copy

Sheets("CURRENT ").Select

Range("A" & num).Select

ActiveSheet.Paste

Else

'messagebox is only here for my testing purposes, and will be
'deleted once the macro is working

MsgBox ("Not current")

End If

Next i

End Sub
