Trying a little humor with the subject. :)

I recorded the following macro in excel, then shortened/simplified it. If I am in Developer Mode and run it from there, it works great, but.. I am trying to assign the code to a button. When I do and click the button, it appears to be running on the sheet where the button is, not the sheet where my data is.

Searching, I was not able to find how to correct this.

Code:
Sub Configure_Dates()    Range("E2:E7500").Select
    Selection.Replace What:=",", Replacement:=", ", LookAt:=xlPart, _
        SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
        ReplaceFormat:=False
    Range("F2:F7500").Select
    Selection.Replace What:="@", Replacement:=" ", LookAt:=xlPart, _
        SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False, _
        ReplaceFormat:=False
    Range("E2:E7500").Select
    Selection.NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"
    Range("G2:G7500").Select
    Selection.NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"
    Range("H2:H7500").Select
    Selection.NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy"
End Sub
 
It's fixed, within the protection box, it allowed me to set the specific conditions. By checking the box to allow formatting of cells, row and columns of UNLOCKED cells. By allowing this, it allows the macro to run properly, formatting the dates, but still protects (locks out) the few columns I need protected.

Thanks a ton for the help!
