I posted the following message earlier today and received
a couple of responses from Ron de Bruin & Otto Moehrbach.
Unfortunately when I click on their response all I get
is "Message Unavailable". Could somebody email me their
responses if it shows up for them? It would greatly be
appreciated. The original message was posted 11:47 am on
February 20th. Thanks in advance.

Having a problem with a macro. Hoping someone can help
me
out. I have programmed the macro as follows:

ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Columns("A:J").Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Range("E27").Select
ActiveSheet.ShowDataForm

but receive the following error message when I try to
execute it:

Run-time Error '1004':

ShowDataForm method of Worksheet class failed.

Basically I want the macro to unprotect my sheet, then
unhide some of the columns I have hidden, then show a
data form for the user to use. If someone can help me it
would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
