Hi,

I've recorded a macro which would help me to filter for desired records in
a
data list using MS Excel 2003. After that, I assigned the macro to a
command
button. But I wish to locked the location of the button on the worksheet,
top
(100), left (50). So I used Protect Sheet option to protect the sheet with
Use AutoFilter option being selected. Unfortunately, once I run the macro
after the sheet is protected; a debug will be generated, "Run-time error
1004"!!!

What would be the cause for the debug???
Anyone could help on this????

Thanking in advance.
