Hello


I got a macro to fix, which has worked.


The original code was:


* * Columns("M:M").Select
* * Selection.Cut
* * Range("L1").Select ' was L1
* * Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight


I tried this also:
* * Range("L1").Select
* * DoEvents
* * Range("L1").Insert


and both gives the error:


Runtime error 1004
Insert method of Range class failed.


What can cause this?

Adding this does not help

* * For aa = 1 To ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
* * * ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(aa).Unprotect
* * Next


I made this up:

Range("L1").Select
Columns("L:L").Insert
Columns("N:N").Select
Selection.Cut
ActiveSheet.Paste Destination:=ActiveSheet.Range("L:L")

This works.

Any better ideas?
