Thanks alot Jim,

I previously tried chaning the TakeFocusOnClick property before
posting, but with no luck, but changing my code so that no selecting is
required worked perfectly. Thanks again.

You could change your code to...
Sheets("Sheet1").Columns("H:H").EntireColumn.Hidde n = True
(no selection is done)

If you are using buttons from the Control Toolbox try ...
Changing the TakeFocusOnClick property of the button to False.

Hello All,
I created what I thought was a really simple workbook, but have run
across a macro error that I can't seem to solve. Probably really simple
for some, but has stumped me on working any further on the workbook:
I recorded a macro to hide a column on a specific worksheet (code
below):

Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Columns("H:H").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = True

However, when I copied the code to a command button on another
worksheet I get:

"Run-time error '1004':

Select method of Range class failed"

The macro works fine when I run it through the menu, however it will
not work with the command button. When I click on the Debug, it
highlights the "Columns("H:H").Select"
Any insight will be appreciated...
