Unhide rows error
 

I am running the following macro:

Sub open1()

ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="password"
ActiveWindow.DisplayHeadings = True
Columns.Hidden = False
Rows.Hidden = False
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect Password:="password"
Sheets("sheet1").Visible = True
Sheets("sheet2").Visible = True
Sheets("sheet3").Select
Range("P3").Select

The problem that I am having is when the macro gets to "Rows.Hidden =
False," it corrupts the data in column L in sheet3 & I don't have a clue as
to why. Help!

Thanks in advance, Montana

Unhide rows error
 

You should be specifying which rows are to be hidden, such as

Rows("3:7").Hidden = False

Unhide rows error
 

Ok, I tried that. here's the new code:

ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="password"
ActiveWindow.DisplayHeadings = True
Columns("Y:IV").Hidden = False
Rows("31:65536").Hidden = False
ActiveWorkbook.Unprotect Password:="password"
Sheets("Sheet1").Visible = True
Sheets("Sheet2").Visible = True
Sheets("Sheet3").Select
Range("P3").Select

Now I get the error message when I run the macro:

Run-time Error '-2147417848 (80010108)':
Method 'Hidden' of object 'Range' failure

When I run debug, I get the following line highlighted:
Rows("31:65536").Hidden = False

I tried this by using Record Macro too, but I get the same error message
when I try to run the macro. What am I missing here?
