Can someone tell me why this will work in the before save module if I use Excel's save button, but not my own save macro?

Code:
Dim Revert As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
Revert = ActiveSheet.Name
For Each ws In Sheets
    ws.Activate
    If ActiveCell.Address <> "D5" Then
        ws.Unprotect Password:="17Lj041kM"
        ws.Range("A1").Select
        ws.Range("D5").Select
        ws.Protect AllowFormattingCells:=True, Password:="17Lj041kM"
    End If
Next
Sheets(Revert).Activate

Here is the code I have in my save macro:

Code:
ThisWorkbook.Save

If I take the code out of the before save macro and put it directly in my save macro, it will work, but now not with Excel's save button, obviously.

The error I get is:

Select method of Range Class failed

Thanks
