Hello all,
I'm having a problem where i try to run a column moving macro using
Code:
    Worksheets("MHT").Activate

 Dim lastRow As Long
 lastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row


    Columns("F:F").Select
    Selection.Cut
    Columns("A:A").Select
    Selection.Insert Shift:=xlToRight

the issue is that im running the macro from another sheet
if i remove the worksheet activate or select the code works perfectly
how can i start this macro from any other sheet and it go to the one i want it to and perform the column moving?

any help is greatly appreciated.
 
What happens if you close xl with the MHT empty, then re-open xl, paste the data & run the code?

Excel Facts

Excel Can Read to You
Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
What happens if you close xl with the MHT empty, then re-open xl, paste the data & run the code?

it gives the runtime error code.
note: when the runtime error code happens i have to use task manager to end excel. It will not allow me to click inside cells, close the program, or anything. Also looks like column A & B are meshed together. I can send you the workbook if you'd like.

Ok, but you will need to upload to a share site such as OneDrive, GoogleDrive, Dropbox, mark for sharing & post the link to the thread.

thank you so much.
so use whatever you want in MHT as the "data"
try once just running the macro by double clicking "Program Start"s MHT box
then remove whats in MHT, save, close, reopen and try to copy paste that same "data" in and then run the macro.

It works ok for me.
Do you run the "Wheelpros" before "MHT"?

no each sheet is individually run.
weirdly enough i found out its the way i'm pasting the "data"
if you paste it as an entire sheet with the top left corner, and you go straight to Program Start, does it mess it up?
if i paste it from the rows it works
