    Macro Doesn't Work Through Button, Does Work Through Developer ->Macros Option

    Hello Everyone,

    My issue is pretty much stated in the title of this thread. When I run a macro through a Form Controls button, it skips part of the process. However, when I rerun that same macro by going to the Developer tab in the ribbon and then choosing the macro from the Macros button, it works fine.

    Has anyone ever had this issue, or does anyone know what might cause it?

    In case it helps, here is the code:

    Remove On Error Resume Next and you might find where the error in the code is.

    It'll probably be where Modred is suggesting, or on a similar line.
    If posting code please use code tags, see here.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Taking out the remove error didn't seem to give an answer and changing the code up gave me a run-time error.

    I guess my issue is, is it really the code? If it works completely fine by running it through the Developer tab, how can code be an issue?

    Thanks again.

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are demonstrated, mock them up manually if needed. Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

    Removing On Error is not supposed to fix anything, it's supposed to help you find errors, if they are any.

    Okay, attached is a test workbook. To begin, there are 2 tabs - "Instructions" and "AB - CDE". When you click on button 4 on the instructions tab the macro will run and it will spit out 2 sheets named "Sheet##" and "Sheet##" along with 7 sheets that are labeled Monday through Friday. Now if you run the macro via the Developer tab, your results will be a tabs named "January", "February", and then the Monday through Friday tabs.

    Code stays the same, data stays the same. Macro is just run 2 different ways that should produce the same result.

    Try this, I think I've fixed all the referencing and other problems.

    When I run it from the button it creates sheets for January, February and Monday to Sunday.

    Norie - That worked great! Thank you very much! Do you have any idea why that code worked instead of what I had? All in all, it pretty much looks like the same stuff, only switched around a little...

    Thanks again!

    I basically implemented what Modred had suggested.

    That made sure that everything was being referenced correctly so the code was running on the right ranges in the right worksheets at the right time.

    I also fixed up some little things that weren't really problems but could become problems/irritations.
