VB Error when I run Macro from QAT (Quick Access Toolbar)

[afelissimo]

The macro works just fine from the macro button on the developer tab (Word 2007), but when I put the macro on the QAT and try to run it from there I get an error message. The error message has no text, just a big red circle with a white "x". ????

Can't find anything in google or tek-tips searches.

Please help!

Thanks in advance.

It may help if we could see what the code is.

Hi Fumei!

Here's the code:

Ah, you have the other post, yes? And you do not seem to be taking my suggestion about simplifying things.

Well, so it goes. At the very least you may want to try using With statements with all that extraneous code.

As for your issue with the QAT, I do not think I can help you.

Have you tried stepping through the code?

I could probably clean up the code for the table borders, and I know that I could clean up the code for the shapes. I just have to be careful with the shapes that I don't accidentally delete something that I need.

And, yes, I think this QAT issue is separate from the code, since the code is working well from the macro button on the developer tab.

Thanks for your help with the other problems!
