Why isn't my loop looping?

Happy Friday!

The code below processes the first row and never moves to the second row. What am I doing wrong here?

VBA Code: 
Sub TestForHyperlinkAndFix()

Settings.MessageReturn.Value = "Rebuilding all Hyperlinks."
Settings.Repaint

Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

ActiveSheet.Unprotect
Sheets("Hyperlinks").Visible = True
    
Sheets("Calendar").Range("J5").Select

Dim i As Long
Dim LastRow As Long

LastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

For i = 1 To LastRow Step 1

If Cells(ActiveCell.Row, "J").Hyperlinks.Count > 0 Then
Range(Cells(Selection.Row, 10).Address).Select
    Range(ActiveCell.Address).Name = "StartCell"
    Sheets("Hyperlinks").Range("F1") = Sheets("Calendar").Range("StartCell")
    Sheets("Hyperlinks").Range("A1") = Sheets("Calendar").Range("C" & ActiveCell.Row).Value
    
    Sheets("Calendar").Select
    Application.GoTo "StartCell"
    
    ThisWorkbook.Names("StartCell").Delete
    
    Dim newRange As Range
    Set newRange = Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.Offset(NumRows, numCols))
    With ActiveSheet
   .Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=newRange, _
      Address:=Sheets("Hyperlinks").Range("I1"), TextToDisplay:=ActiveCell.Text
      End With
Else
End If
    
Next i

Sheets("Hyperlinks").Visible = False

'Protect Calendar
ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=False, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=False, AllowFormattingCells:=True, AllowFormattingColumns:=True, AllowFormattingRows:=True, AllowInsertingColumns:=True, AllowInsertingRows:=True, AllowInsertingHyperlinks:=True, AllowDeletingColumns:=True, AllowDeletingRows:=True, AllowSorting:=True, AllowFiltering:=True, AllowUsingPivotTables:=True

Settings.MessageReturn.Value = "All Hyperlinks successfully rebuilt."

Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Sort by date Sort by votes
You are looping through the rows using "i". But the code inside your loop never references i or increases the values.
You are referencing "ActiveCell", but never change the ActiveCell in your loop.

By the way, I would recommend NOT moving the ActiveCell in the loop. That will slow down the code immensely.
You usually do not need to select the cells to work with them.
Just replace "ActiveCell.Row" with i, i.e.
change this:
VBA Code: 
If Cells(ActiveCell.Row, "J").Hyperlinks.Count > 0 Then
to this:
VBA Code: 
If Cells(i, "J").Hyperlinks.Count > 0 Then

First of all, I cannot run your code, because I get a "compile error - variable not defined" for "Settings.MessageReturn.Value"

So maybe you could post some more code or data, otherwise I'm not able to help.

Here's the complete code with changes you suggested. It still will not move to the next row down. I'm missing something here.

You need to update every instance of "Selection" and "ActiveCell" in your loop.
