Your last code works ,but there is a Quotation Mark missing in the line below !!!
Code:
Set Rng = .Range(.Range("G2[COLOR="#FF0000"][B][SIZE=4]"[/SIZE][/B][/COLOR]), .Range("G" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))

I should put a "Breakpoint" in the code then close and reopen to step though it, and see what's happening

I assume as you stated previously, your code is in the "ThisWorkbook" Module !!!
In Active worksheet, Click "Alt +F11" to see code page, > click "Ctrl +R" to see Project page
Scroll down "Project Page" until you find "ThisWorkbook" > double Click to see actual related code Page.

Click somewhere at top of code , but in margin, a Brown Dot and line will appear.
Your code now has a Break Point.
When you now run the code it will stop at that line with the Code window open.
If you then start slowly clicking "F8" you will step through the code and be able to see if its working.

You could try copying the code, place in basic module or button and try running it there to see that it works then try again.
You could also place a simple code as below in the "Thisworkbook" module to make sure that's working.
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox "Hello"
End Sub
