I have a macro that bringss up a form for the user to enter data into a list. the problem is that it will not pull the form up when it is run, when i try it manually the form comes up what am i doing wrong.
Here is the macro

Range("A14").Select
ActiveSheet.ShowDataForm

any input would be appreciated

I think you have to define a label for your dataform then select the range for your dataform.
PLUS put in application.displayalerts=false to
bypass the popup alert IF your data range is selected eg.

Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Range("B2:B12").Select
ActiveSheet.ShowDataForm
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
