You don't have to restart.
Type Application.ScreenUpdating = True
in the VBA immediate window and hit return.

Hi there,

Have you tried using this:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
at the start of your macro?

If you use this, YOU MUST add this to the end of the macro.
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

If you don't, you won't be able to use excel until you
restart it. Which is very annoying!

Cheers,
Foss

Hi All


From my original example (see the bottom of the page) I

have replaced
Rows("600:600").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp

with
Rows("600:600").Delete Shift:=xlUp


This has helped a considerable amount, however, it zooms
through about 150 to 200 rows then slows again. Excel
2002 is a real pain at the moment.

can any one advise me further

Cheers





Original Example
Sub Delete_Row_600_551()

Sheets("Data").Select

If Range("G600") < Range("Q1") Then
Rows("600:600").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
End If

If Range("G600") Range("S1") Then
Rows("600:600").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
End If


If Range("G599") < Range("Q1") Then
Rows("599:599").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
End If

If Range("G599") Range("S1") Then
Rows("599:599").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
End If
End Sub
