Macro's not working

[Guest]

Hi,

I am trying to use macros in existing spreadsheets. They work fine if I
create a new spreeadsheet etc. But when I try to use the same macro in an
existing sheet then it doesnt work. Highlights the error.

Simple macro such as:-
ActiveSheet.ShowDataForm

Doesn't work and the debug highlights this line yellow.

Are there some sort of saftey / secuirty settings that might be in place
that are stopping these macros?

Cheers
Matt

If this doesn't help, you may want to post the text of the error message.

Here's an article that explains how the problem occurs in VBA (with solution)
