Default Select failed?

The worksheet needs to be active

Sub HideColTop2AC()
Dim rTopCell As Range
Dim lColTop As Long
Dim WkSht As Worksheet
For Each WkSht In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If Not Right(WkSht.Name, 7) = "Records" Then

Set rTopCell = WkSht.Range("3:3").Find("top", LookIn:=xlValues,
LookAt:=xlPart)
If Not rTopCell Is Nothing Then
lColTop = rTopCell.Column

WkSht.Range(WkSht.Columns(lColTop),
WkSht.Columns("AC")).Hidden = True
WkSht.Activate
WkSht.Range("B3").Select

End If
End If
Next
End Sub

This simple macro hides certain columns, then it's supposed to select
cell B3, but it tells me the select methods failed.

Sub HideColTop2AC()
Dim rTopCell As Range
Dim lColTop As Long
Dim WkSht As Worksheet
For Each WkSht In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If Not Right(WkSht.Name, 7) = "Records" Then

Set rTopCell = WkSht.Range("3:3").find("top",
LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart)
If Not rTopCell Is Nothing Then
lColTop = rTopCell.Column

WkSht.Range(WkSht.Columns(lColTop),
WkSht.Columns("AC")).Hidden = True
WkSht.Range("B3").Select<---ERROR

End If
End If
Next
End Sub

Why is the select failing?
Thanks
