....some further tightenning:

Sub testdel()
Dim ws As Variant
ws = Array(20, 35, 40, 50, 60, 100, _
101, 102, 103, 104, 199, 200, 201, 202, _
203, 204, 299, 300, 303, 304)

For i = LBound(ws) To UBound(ws)
Sheets("RFC" & Format(ws(i), "00000")) _
.Columns("C:C").Delete Shift:=xlToLeft
Next i
End Sub

I tried the code on 2K and I did not get the same problem... I did tighten
the code up for you though...

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.
