Runs in macro but not in procedure...why?

In trying to code a procdure I want to have range A5 as the starting location
for each sheet (to be used in code later as the active cell for each sheet
when made active.) I was having trouble so I recorded the key stroke as a
macro and it works. I copy the code to a procedure, run it from a command
button and I get the following error msg: Select method of Range Class failed.

Here is the simple code:
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("A5").Select
Sheets("Sheet2").Select
Range("A5").Select

Help is appreciated.

Hello Billy B,

I suspect your procedure code is in the General Declarations section of a Worksheet. Add a Module to your project and place the code there and it should work fine.
