I have a macro that I'd like to limit the pages it can work on.

Sub columnremove()
Dim myRng As Range
Set myRng = ActiveSheet.Rows(4)
'for rows that have 0's or blanks in column A
'set myRng = activesheet.range("a:a")
With myRng
.Replace What:=0, Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlWhole
On Error Resume Next
.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireColumn .Delete
On Error GoTo 0
End With
End Sub


If i click it, and I am on wrong page it can ruin alot of work, I have
only 3 pages it can work on, Month One, Month Two and Month Three.


Can this macro be made to "check" if its in one of those pages and not
fire, or give an error message if it is not?

One way:

Option Explicit
Sub columnremove()
Dim myRng As Range

Select Case LCase(ActiveSheet.Name)
Case Is = LCase("Month One"), LCase("Month Two"), LCase("Month Three")
Set myRng = ActiveSheet.Rows(4)
'for rows that have 0's or blanks in column A
'set myRng = activesheet.range("a:a")
With myRng
.Replace What:=0, Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlWhole
On Error Resume Next
.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireColumn .Delete
On Error GoTo 0
End With
Case Else
MsgBox "Please activate the correct sheet first!"
End Select
End Sub

Beautiful Dave! Worked like a charm! Hopefully I can sneak in a
second request. After adding that and talking with a co-worker, I came
to realize we only have one other area to address in making the program
safe for multi-user use. I'll be looking into it, but can we make the
saved main program open up and right off the bat and request the user
save it as a different name so the source stays safe? Maybe make it so
they have to save it as a different name or it won't work. I assume I
need find start code, and try and get the code to check the filename,
if its the source name ask to save, if its not then it opens no
problem.

Anyways Dave, this is I think your third major help given to me, you
make me look awful smart, and that is hard to do.

Cheers

If I don't want users to save over my original workbook, I'll use windows
explorer and mark it readonly.

It stops most of the problems. But I do keep a backup just in case.

But you could use Auto_Open() to do what you want.

Option Explicit
Sub Auto_Open()

Dim Resp As Long
Resp = MsgBox(Prompt:="Do you want to save this as a new name?", _
Buttons:=vbYesNo)

If Resp = vbYes Then
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show
End If
End Sub

Dave, if i use that, can i set that to only work on original file? We
do alot of work with this, and sometimes its several days of work, I'd
hate to have them need save as a different name each time, only wish to
protect original.

Opps, as in set it to look for file name as well, like "Hard Copy"? If
its Hard Copy, it asks to save as different name, if not it opens fine.

Option Explicit
Sub Auto_Open()

Dim Resp As Long

if lcase(thisworkbook.name) like "*hard copy*" then
Resp = MsgBox(Prompt:="Do you want to save this as a new name?", _
Buttons:=vbYesNo)

If Resp = vbYes Then
Application.Dialogs(xlDialogSaveAs).Show
End If
end if

End Sub
