I have a workbook on sheet 1, at D8 i have a dropdown validation that points
to values in Range("D15:D20"). I have this code in the Worksheet_Change
Event.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

If Target.Address = "$D$8" Then
Range("K1").Select
End If

End Sub


Everything works as expected.

Now, in the workbook that I am having issues in, the Select method is not
working and I cannot figure out why. Here is my code. I apologize for the
length.

The sheet is protected with an editable range, all cells are locked except
for the ones listed in the edit range
....
With ActiveWorksheet
.Unprotect
While .Protection.AllowEditRanges.Count0
.Protection.AllowEditRanges(1).Delete
DoEvents

.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True
End With

Woo Hoo! I found my problem and have a resolution for it.


If turns out that I have user defined functions in some of my formulas and
they are causing the issue. All I had to do was turn off calculation and
the problem is resolved. So I turn of calculation and manually calculate as
appropriate. Since I am managing the input from worksheet_change() this is
not an inconvenient solution

Too bad I will have to be cautious of the user enabling calculations, but
this is a working solution and that is my main concern. Man that took a
long time to figure out. Thanks anyway gang.

Sample formula =
"=IF(C33="",1,C33)*IF(C31="",1,C31)*IF(C30="",1,C3 0)*IF(C29="",1,IF(GetIsNumber(C29),C29,0))*IF(C28= "",1,C28)*IF(C27="",1,C27)*IF(C20="",1,C20)*IF(C19 ="",1,C19)*IF(C18="",1,C18)*IF(C17="",1,C17)*IF(C1 6="",1,C16)"

Private Sub Workbook_Open()

With Application
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.MaxChange = 0.001
End With

ActiveWorkbook.PrecisionAsDisplayed = False

End Sub


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
