Glen,

The following works almost instantly, as all operations are on the entire range...
'---------------------------------------------------------
Sub CleanItUp()
'Removes Hyperlink objects from designated range.

Dim varCellValue As Variant
Dim rngHyperArea As Excel.Range

Set rngHyperArea = Range("B8:G200")

varCellValue = rngHyperArea.Value
rngHyperArea.ClearContents
rngHyperArea.Value = varCellValue
rngHyperArea.Font.Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone
rngHyperArea.Font.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexAutomatic

Set rngHyperArea = Nothing
End Sub

Using the Hyperlinks.Delete method wipes out all of the formatting in
the affected cells. I'm sure I could write a macro that reformats the
cells,but the workbooks involved are quite large and I need to do this as part
of a mulit-user web application. Considering how slow Excel is at cell
formatting, I don't think this is a good idea.
I was wondering if there is a fast way to fix this or if newer versions
f Excel have this bug fixed (I am using Excel 2000 currently).
