Hi All,

First post so please be gentle :) I've written the following macro to insert a row, copy some cells from another sheet and then paste them into the new row. The problem occurs when I use this macro more than once it crashes Excel 2003 out! Any help greatly appreciated:

### Code Begins ###

Option Explicit
Option Compare Text
Sub InsertRow()
Dim rFind As Long
On Error Resume Next

'Disables Sheet Protection
ActiveSheet.Unprotect

'Stop Updating of The Screen To Optimise Speed
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'Prevent Prompting
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

'If rFind > 0 Then Rows(rFind + 1).Insert xlShiftDown
'Selects Entire Last Row
Sheets("Format Control").Select
Rows("3:3").Select

'Copies Entire Last Row
Selection.Copy

'Selects the Environment Information Sheet
Sheets("Environment Information").Select

rFind = Columns("A:A").Find(What:="0", After:=Range("A5"), LookIn:=xlValues, _
LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=False, SearchFormat:=False).Row

If rFind > 0 Then Rows(rFind + 1).Insert xlShiftDown

'Enable Prompting
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

'Update The Screen
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

'Enables Sheet Protection
'ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _

ActiveCell.Offset(4, -3).Select

End Sub

### Code Ends ###


My knowledge of VBA is minimal to be honest but if anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful.

*Edit* I've just had an error appear from 'Microsoft Visual Basic' stating 'Automation Error'. This doesn't seem to affect any other macros in this workbook and there are a few.

Thank you all for your time.

You are welcome

Oman is still nice - just starting to cool down now - 38 today and 26 tonight!

Still sounds a little too hot for me! :) It's on my list of places to re-visit but I loved the 8 hour or so drive through the desert to Thumrait and the pure dark sky so that you can see the Milky Way so clearly. Truly awe inspiring.
