Help! Loss of Tab control/cell selection problem

G

Guest

Okay, you guys have been especially helpful on this project, but I need yet
more advice. Here's the problem. Well, first, I'm not really a programmer,
just one of those power users smart enough to screw things up.

My workbook has several worksheets that require manipulation after data is
input on a central Information page. So, when they select any worksheet other
than the information page, it performs a series of updates and then goes to
the selected worksheet.

Fair enough. BUT, when the users who have xl2000 do this, they lose the
ability to see the current cell selection and tab or arrow between cells.
Almost like Application.ScreenUpdating never became true. Here's the code of
the various macros called during this process. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. This is driving me crazy because it works fine on my xl2003.

I realized this is a lot of code, but I'm at my wit's end. Or rather, my wit
has left the building. Here are three macros I think may be related to the
problem.

One more thing...

In xl2000, if I manually unprotect an individual sheet, then reprotect it,
the problem goes away. So, something must be wrong in my protect code, but
darned if I know what it is...

....and through tinkering, I think I solved the problem. Added the following
to the Worksheet_Activate code...
--------------------------------------------------------
snip
--------------------------------------------------------
....
340 Die:
345 ActiveSheet.Unprotect "unlock"
350 Application.ScreenUpdating = True
355 ActiveSheet.Protect "unlock", , , True
360 End Sub
