Are there sheets where you don't want to delete column C? If not you can use
this shorter code
I can't see any reason for the described behaviour unless you have
accidentally run some other macro.

Public Sub testdel()
Dim iSheetCount As Integer
Dim iSheet As Integer

iSheetCount = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count

For iSheet = 1 To iSheetCount
Worksheets(iSheet).Activate
Columns("C:C").Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
Next iSheet
End Sub

Hello,

Excel 2000 and Windows XP

I have some simple code which is supposed to go through 20 worksheets and
delete Column C in each sheet.. The code is below. Each sheet is filled
with content from cols A-O but instead of deleting col c in each sheet the
code below deletes whats in cols a-n in all sheets and puts what is in O
in
col A.

Confusing I know but irritating. Can anyone tell me why the code below
does
not just delete Col C in each sheet?

Thanks,

td.
