A macro code question from a novice
 

The following is my code for a macro I want to run on a protected worksheet.
My intent is for the macro to first unprotect the worksheet, then insert a
copy of the person's scanned signature on to the worksheet after they answer
the question "Are you sure you want to sign your timecard?", and then
reprotect the worksheet. When the code runs, I'm getting an error message
"Compile error: Expected End Sub". I'm sure it's due to a mistake (or more
than one) I've made. If anyone has time, would you please help me locate my
error(s)?

Thanks and have a wonderful holiday season!

The basic problem is that you have a sub withIN a sub without an end.
Remove the
Sub AskAndDo()
line and then try to clean up your sub by removing selections, IF possible.

Sheets("Sheet3").Shapes("Picture 2").Copy _
Sheets("Master").Range("A32:I34")

A macro code question from a novice
 

- worksheets are not (normally) suffixed with .xls

- worksheets names are usually enclosed in quotes unless you really are
using a variable

- why unprotect one sheet, do things on other totally unrelated sheets, then
finally protect another one altogether

- you paste a shape and then locate it


Sub KSmith_signature()
If MsgBox("Are you sure you want to sign your timecard?", vbYesNo +
vbQuestion) = vbNo Then
Exit Sub
Else
Sheets("Sheet3").Shapes("Picture 2").Copy
With Sheets("Master")
.Paste
.Shapes("Picture 2").Left = Range("A32").Left
.Shapes("Picture 2").Top = Range("A32").Top
End With
End If
End Sub
