The syntax is correct. The two lines under your error should be one line.
They probably got wrapped in the message.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I get a syntax
error for the code for the last line below..........


Dim Start As Date, Finish As Date
Start = Now

Range("br3").Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
While ActiveCell < ""

If ActiveCell + ActiveCell.Offset(0, 1) < 1 Then
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Delete
ActiveCell.Offset(-1, 0).Select
End If
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Wend
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Finish = Now

************Syntax Error***********
Application.StatusBar = "Time taken=" & Format((Finish -
Start), "ss")



End Sub

Try this:

Dim Start As Date, Finish As Date

Start = Now
' Procedure
Finish = Now
Application.StatusBar = "Time taken=" & Format((finish -
Start), "ss")
