I run code to protect cells, whilst allowing users to access certain features of Excel to view/sort data. I want to run two macros when the workbook is opened, to make sure any selections made in dropdown boxes are cleared.

I thought this would work, but it doesn't like the calls for macros.

VBA Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Dim sh          As Worksheet
    For Each sh In Worksheets
        If sh.Name = "Property Numbering" Then
            sh.Protect UserInterFaceOnly:=True, AllowSorting:=True, AllowFiltering:=True
                    Call PRGEReset
                    Call PRGFReset
        Else
            sh.Protect UserInterFaceOnly:=True
        End If
    Next
End Sub

First module/macro:
VBA Code:
Sub PRGEReset()
    Range("C13").Select
    Selection.ClearContents
    Range("C13").Select
End Sub

Second module/macro:
VBA Code:
Sub PRGFReset()
    Range("C8").Select
    Selection.ClearContents
    Range("C8").Select
End Sub

Can someone please tell me how I get this working?

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Dim sh          As Worksheet
    For Each sh In Worksheets
        If sh.Name = "Property Numbering" Then
            sh.Protect UserInterFaceOnly:=True, AllowSorting:=True, AllowFiltering:=True
            sh.Range("C8,C13").ClearContents
        Else
            sh.Protect UserInterFaceOnly:=True
        End If
    Next
End Sub
