Code works when stepping through, but not when running

Hey guys, I've been working with macros for about a week or two, and while google is my friend, I think I need to reach out for some help.

When I step through the code I've posted below, it works perfectly. No errors, everything formats correctly, and I end up with the desired result for the document.

However, when I try to actually RUN the code, I get a 1004 error

runtime error 1004 method name of object _worksheet failed

This error points to the line of code i've colored red below. I've tried using the worksheet codename instead of the sheet name when referencing it, i've even tried setting it as a variable, but still no dice. Again, it works perfectly when stepping through the code with F8, but bombs when I try to run it.

Any hints for the poor sap whose boss expects miracles? lol

Excel Facts

Back into an answer in Excel
Use Data, What-If Analysis, Goal Seek to find the correct input cell value to reach a desired result
Can't see anything but a lot of calls to other macros and select and paste in sheets - do you really need all those subs?
Too much of a strain to follow : )

You shouldn't need to select the sheet but you could try that to see if it gets through the code
or
You could try defining the sheet at the start of the macro it is used in.
Set wsMVM = Worksheets("Whatever sheetname is before rename")

What happens if you comment out that specific line ?

I don't understand what that line of code is intended to do. My understanding at this point in time is that the line actually does nothing.

Hi! so that particular line of code renames a worksheet. it's pretty basic, which is why I was very confused as to why I was encountering this error. As I said, I'm very new to this, and I've tried a lot of things I found on google as far as troubleshooting for this error. There's also the additional aspect that this mess of code works perfectly when I step through it, but fails (always with the same error) when I try to actually *run* the code. Any advice is super appreciated!

As far as what happens if I comment out that line, the macro would fail. I reference the new worksheet name further in, so commenting out the name change would cause an error.

Have you tried this approach ?

<code style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, "Lucida Console", "Liberation Mono", "DejaVu Sans Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", "Courier New", monospace, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: inherit; white-space: inherit;">Sheets("Sheet2").Name = "Master_View_Modify</code>"
