Figured it out.

The ActiveWindow.Visible = False code was recorded when there was a dialog
bog (for editing various chart properties) was closed, and
ActiveWindow.Activate was recorded when focus returned to the worksheet.

That's how the macro had those two lines.

Hello all,

This is an question that I can't solve, but it's not a terribly important
issue.

I've been tasked to rewrite some macros that various users have recorded.
It's fairly straightforward and I don't have any problems. But there's two
lines of code that are all over the macro, and I can't figure out how they
were recorded. If I copy those two lines and try to run them
independently, it crashes. But the macro works fine by itself. I'm
wondering if I'm missing something, thought I'd throw it out there. Again,
this is just to satify my curiousity.

The lines a
ActiveWindow.Visible = False
ActiveWindow.Activate

These two lines appear maybe 5 times per macro. But the user can't remember
what they did, and I haven't been able to duplictate it.

I can duplicate each line, but not together (in that order). I have to hide
the sheet to get the first line, but activate doesn't work with a hidden
sheet.

Anyone smarter know what's going on?

Thanks,
Jay
