Shared workbook problem!!!!
 

Take a look at Excel's help for "features unavailable in shared workbooks".

You'll see this:

Unavailable featu Insert or delete blocks of cells
Alternatives: You can insert entire rows and columns.

So this line:
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown
is the line blowing up.
Maybe...
Selection.entirerow.insert
would be ok

And you have a typo.
If t1 = "gbksxl04" Or t1 = "gbkdxb02" Or t1 = "gbkmxg04" Or t1
= "gbkaxp02" Or ti = "gbkbxs03" Then

That gbxbxs03 is checking for ti (Tee-Eye), not T1 (Tee-One).

You can add "Option Explicit" at the top of each module and you'll be forced to
declare your variables.

It may sound like it's more work, but you'll find you save time by not searching
for problems like these.

In fact, excel has an option that will turn this on for all new modules. Inside
the VBE:

Tools|Options|Editor Tab
check "Require Variable Declaration"

It's worth the time for new modules and you can always go back to existing and
add both the Option Explicit and the Dim's that you need (when time permits
<vbg).

Dave,

just tried the Selection.EntireRow.Insert and it worked a treat.

Just one other question........do you know how to get excel to have no
activecell on start up? my other sub does select a cell before the
whole workbook is open but while the sub i posted earlier is running i
dont want excel to have an activecell i have tried ActiveCell = xlNone
but that just cleared the activecell.

any ideas?

Simon

Can you select a shape or something else instead?

If you don't have a shape on the sheet you want, the only way I know to stop a
cell from being selected is to stop all selections--but you'll still have an
activecell--but the user won't see the cell outlining.

Option Explicit
Sub auto_open()
Dim wks As Worksheet
Set wks = Worksheets("sheet1")
With wks
.Select
.Protect
.EnableSelection = xlNoSelection
MsgBox ActiveCell.Address
End With
End Sub

I think I'd either just select a cell (A1 is always nice) or one that's way out
of the way.

Option Explicit
Sub auto_open()
Dim wks As Worksheet
Set wks = Worksheets("sheet1")
With wks
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Goto .Cells(.Cells.Count), scroll:=False
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End With
End Sub
