Default Newbie needs macro help please

I have a file with 2 worksheets Main and Data and want to run a macro
from a Command Button in the Main worksheet which goes to the Data
worksheet, refreshes a query, parses the data and goes back to the
Main worksheet.

This is what I've done:
Recorded a macro which is Macro1 in Module1 which works if run from
Tools, Macro, Macro1, Run

Created a button which gives me Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()in
the Objects section for Sheet1 (Main)

Copied the code from Module1 Macro1 to the Sub CommandButton1_Click()

When I run the macro from the Command Button it gets to
Columns("A:A").Select and falls over with an error message "Run time
error 1004 - Select method of Range class failed.

I don't understand why it doesn't work when linked to the Command
Button when it's fine when run straight from Module1


I'd be really grateful if someone could explain whhere I'm going wrong
and how to put it right as I've spent hours looking on the net for a
solution but I think I'm out of my depth.

The code is below

Thanks a lot for your help

Keith


Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Worksheets("Data").Select
Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
Columns("A:A").Select
Selection.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("A1"),
