Default ShowDataForm of Worksheet class failed

Interestingly, it will only work if the first list is in column A. Placed
in any other column produces and error. Is this a bug or is there a
workaround?

TIA

Try naming the range "Database" like this:

Sub AddProduct()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Range("AA1:AB1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select ' error with
or
without this line

Selection.Name = "Database"

Application.CutCopyMode = False ' error
with or without this line
ActiveSheet.ShowDataForm '
produces the error

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

ActiveSheet.ShowDataForm '
produces the error

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

I can produce the form manually selecting Data|Form. However, when
trying to add more items, get "cannot extend list or database".

Any ideas?
