What sheet? Workbooks or Windows don't have a Columns collection for you
delete anything from. Worksheets do.

Workbooks("SOA.xls").ActiveSheet.Columns("A").Dele te
Workbooks("SOA.xls").Worksheets(1).Columns("A").De lete
Workbooks("SOA.xls").Worksheets("Sheet 1").Columns("A").Delete

should all work
