Why the error message?

Please could somebody help me with this, I am the worlds biggest novic
at macros. I have recorded macros on XP before but not encountered thi
problem before when I delete columns in excel on vista. The messag
'wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment' comes up whe
I run the macro and it highlights the text 'columns' in the lin
'columns("A:A").Select'. Why is it doing this to me and how can I sto
it (in simple terms for a simple man please)

As you have an Excel macro, you'll do much better if you ask about it in a
discussion group for Excel.

Try here:

microsoft.public.excel

microsoft.public.excel.programming

I crossposted to the second to get you going.

As ALWAYS, post YOUR code for comments
