To All,

Thanks very much for your response. Tim's suggestion of
setting the TakeFocusOnClick to False did the trick. I was
still getting the same error with the other suggestions
but thank you very much for posting one. I've been
struggling with this for weeks and I thought that I would
have to go back to my manager with bad news. The help that
I receive from the folks in this newsgroup is tremendous.

Thanks again,
Rohit Thomas

Another thing to try is ActiveCell.Activate just before
the problem code,
and/or setting the TakeFocusOnClick property of the
worksheet command button
to FALSE.

Hello All,

I'm stuck on a problem where I run into run-time errors
with certain methods, in my particular case the
Unprotect
Method. The code is executed from either a button on a
sheet or a button on a userform. In either case, I get
run-
time error '1004'. The only way I get the same code to
work is if it is written on a regular module. However, I
am trying to avoid writing code to a regular module
because I do not want the user to execute it from Tools
Macros. I've been working on finding a solution for
days
and have not had any luck. If anyone can point me in the
right direction, I would be greatful.

Thanks,
Rohit
