Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction on what is causing
this and how to fix it.

I have a macro that emails a selection to a specified address. Sometimes
when I press Alt-F8 the run button is disabled. When this happens the name
of the macro is ThisWorkbook!Send_Mail

At times, the macro works fine and the run button is enabled but I have
noticed that when it is, the macro name is ThisWorkbook.Send_Mail (period
instead of an exclamation)

When it is an exclamation point, clicking edit and then closing the vb
window SOMETIMES allows me to run it.

Can someone point me in the right direction to resolve this. I have no clue
on why this is sporadically happening.

Always the same computer, using Excel 2000.

Thanks

Charlie

What is the name of the macro and what is the name of the module that it's
in?

Dick,
The Sub is Send_Mail, the Macro in the list when I hit F8 is
ThisWorkBook.Mail (this works, the period becomes an exclamation at times
and it doesn't work any longer)
The code is in the Declarations of the ThisWorkbook section.

Thanks
Charlie

It should probably be in a standard module instead of ThisWorkbook. I can't
say why you're seeing what you're seeing, but in general, the ThisWorkbook
module should contain events and subs that directly support those event.

Well, it definately has me stumped. I have moved it to its own module and
will see what results I have. I did notice that the macro no longer has the
ThisWorkbook on the front of the name so hopefully the issue will not
reoccur.

Thanks for all your help
