I have a macro that resizes all of the shapes within a sheet excluding one. When I run the macro it works fine however it pulls an error "VBA Run-time error -214724809 (80070057)"

This is the code

Code:
Sub Resize()

For Each shape In Sheets("Sheet1").Shapes
    If shape.Name = "RightArrow" Then
    Else:
    [COLOR=#ff0000]shape.Select[/COLOR]
    Selection.ShapeRange.ScaleWidth 1.1, msoFalse, msoScaleFromTopLeft
    Selection.ShapeRange.ScaleHeight 1.1, msoFalse, msoScaleFromTopLeft
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementLeft 10
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementTop 3
    End If
Next

End Sub

When i run the debug it comes back with "shape.select" highlighted.

The error also says
Method 'select' of object 'shape' failed

If i remove this line then the macro doesnt work correctley so im not sure what to do here.
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
If Sheet1 is not the Active sheet, you cannot select a shape on Sheet1.

Try this...

Code:
[COLOR=darkblue]Sub[/COLOR] Resize()
    [COLOR=darkblue]Dim[/COLOR] shp [COLOR=darkblue]As[/COLOR] Shape
    [COLOR=darkblue]For[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]Each[/COLOR] shp [COLOR=darkblue]In[/COLOR] Sheets("Sheet1").Shapes
        [COLOR=darkblue]If[/COLOR] shp.Name <> "RightArrow" [COLOR=darkblue]Then[/COLOR]
            shp.ScaleWidth 1.1, msoFalse, msoScaleFromTopLeft
            shp.ScaleHeight 1.1, msoFalse, msoScaleFromTopLeft
            shp.IncrementLeft 10
            shp.IncrementTop 3
        [COLOR=darkblue]End[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]If[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=darkblue]Next[/COLOR]
[COLOR=darkblue]End[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]Sub[/COLOR]
