Hi gentlemen,

Thank you for your help. Both suggestions has not been successful. Perhaps
it needs to be modified to reflect its use. The empty rows the code is
deleting is below where the copy/paste is being performed. The empty rows
are in fact within the copy/paste region and it is these rows which need to
be deleted.

Try this
Sub deletenext100()
lastrow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
Range(Cells(lastrow + 1, 1), Cells(lastrow + 100, 1)).Select
Selection.EntireRow.Delete
End Sub
