Macro won't run from CommandButton

[Nathan Gutman]

When I go to Alt-F8 and select and run the UpdateQuotes macro it runs
fine.
I added CommandButton1 with the following simple code:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Call UpdateQuotes
End Sub

When I click the button I get an error message:

"TextToColumns method of Range Class failed."

and it hangs up on the rngB.TextToColumns Destination:=Range("B2"),
DataType:=xlDelimited.... line.

Why does it run from Alt-F8 but it doesn't run from the command
button?

Thanks for any help.

UpdateQuotes should be in a general module, not a sheet module or the
Thisworkbook.module.

Thanks, problem solved. Needed to set TakeFocusOnClick = False.
But would like to understand why.

While always a good practice, especially in xl97, there is nothing in your
code and description that would indicate setting TakeFocusOnClick to false
would clear up your problem.
