I am trying to cycle through all the sheets in my workbook and compress all pictures. I know there is a way to save my file with this option, but I would like to put this in the VBA so that it would be triggered each time the file is closed. I tried to search the interwebs and it gave me a starting point. The following script seems to work for the first sheet, but not the second, and every time it runs my number lock is changed. What do you think?
VBA Code:
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    For Each ws In Application.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
        ws.Shapes.SelectAll
        SendKeys "%w", True
        SendKeys "~", True
    Application.CommandBars.ExecuteMso "PicturesCompress"
    Next
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
