Hey Michael,
No – few things are obvious in the world of macros and coding, and we cannot read your mind.
Please don't post macro images without also posting an accompanying macro that people can test. If we can't test – then quite often any help we offer is just conjecture and is also quite often a waste of everyone's time.
Your problem is most likely a timing issue, but if you'll post your macro we can TEST and see.
