Shapes().Select; Nothing Happens

[nullGumby]

Hi, I'm pretty dumbfounded here--I hope someone can help me:

I've taken over development of a Word 2000 document from another
developer. There's a lot of macro code, named bookmarks and shapes.

The problem I'm having is the below line:

ThisDocument.Shapes("shpUserInfo").Select

Nothing happens. This is being called from a procedure and it seems
like the first time it runs, the shape is selected, however every time
after that, it won't select.

Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?

Thanks a lot.

What does the code do to the shape after it is selected?
Show us more code.
