Unable to hide columns in another worksheet from within worksheet_change procedure

[mjeanes]

Hi Folks,

This is very frustrating and I hope someone might have the answer.

I have a worksheet_change procedure that is triggered when certain cells in my input sheet are changed. The procedure is supposed to go into another sheet and hide some columns. Its doesn't. The procedure is certainly triggered, it just seems to skip over the lines of code that do the looping and hiding. I fear it might be something to do with loosing focus?

Also, I can't seem to actually step through the procedure. It's like this procedure is somehow exempt from the usual debugging functionality of the VBA Editor.

Any ideas?

Here's the code:

Hi,
THanks. I've redone the header, but I don't know what you mean about "tags". THere is no # sign at the top of my post window.

After you've clicked Edit, you need to select "Go Advanced", select the code and then click on the # icon. I'll do it this time to save time for both of us

You shouldn't need to activate the sheet but you do need to link the ranges to the sheet within the With ... End With

Hi TMShucks,

Thanks very much. I really appreciate your efforts, but it doesn't work!

The code works in its own procedure, but it does not work in the worksheet_change procedure. THis is the real problem.

Here is the code, incorporating your changes, inside the worksheet_change procedure. You can ignore the bit that deal with the "flexitest" stuff, the relevant stuff is from the second "set combined..." statement:
