Default Recorded Macro Works, Code Doesn't

Hello all,

This is an question that I can't solve, but it's not a terribly important
issue.

I've been tasked to rewrite some macros that various users have recorded.
It's fairly straightforward and I don't have any problems. But there's two
lines of code that are all over the macro, and I can't figure out how they
were recorded. If I copy those two lines and try to run them
independently, it crashes. But the macro works fine by itself. I'm
wondering if I'm missing something, thought I'd throw it out there. Again,
this is just to satify my curiousity.

The lines a
ActiveWindow.Visible = False
ActiveWindow.Activate

These two lines appear maybe 5 times per macro. But the user can't remember
what they did, and I haven't been able to duplictate it.

I can duplicate each line, but not together (in that order). I have to hide
the sheet to get the first line, but activate doesn't work with a hidden
sheet.

Anyone smarter know what's going on?

Thanks,
Jay
