Freeze Panes Via VBA Selects Wrong Freeze Point

I have a macro which I recorded, then modified. The first thing it does is to freeze the top row, then it goes looking for a particular row and inserts some formulae. Nothing complicated at all.

It WAS working perfectly, but I wanted some improvements in the insertion of the formulae. I got that working just fine, but now the panes freeze in the wrong place. No matter what I do, it freezes at cell I16. I want only the top row frozen.

Found this code which was reported to work:

PHP Code:

    ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = False    Range("A1").Select    ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True 

It still freezes at I16. I have tried shutting down Excel, and even my computer, in case it is some weird bug where something is stuck in memory.

I tried recording another macro to format some cells and also freeze the top row. Same result.

PHP Code:

Sub wraptext_top_row()'' wraptext_top_row Macro''    
Rows("1:1").Select    With Selection        
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter        

[Code] ..........

Same result. I tried copying the contents of the worksheet to Notepad, then into a fresh workbook, just in case there's some weird hangup in formatting that I can't see.

There is NOTHING in the original code that references that cell, or even that row or column. NOTHING. How it got hung up on that one cell I cannot fathom.

The Freeze Panes command works normally if I apply it manually. Any cell, anywhere, it works as expected.
