This happens when you have more than one comment on a row. This works
around it:

Sub a()
Dim Area As Range
Dim Rg As Range
For Each Area In Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeComments)
If Rg Is Nothing Then
Set Rg = Area.EntireRow
Else
Set Rg = Union(Rg, Area.EntireRow)
End If
Next
If Not Rg Is Nothing Then Rg.Delete
End Sub

| Hi everyone. I have an interesting problem.
| I created a spreadsheet with groupings on certain rows.
| I now want to delete the rows that belong to the grouping through code. To
| identify the rows I want to delete I put a dummy comment on one of the
cells
| in the row and then run the following code to remove the rows:
|
| For each wks in Application.ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
| wks.Activate
| ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeComments) .EntireRow.Delete
| Next
|
| Now it works for some sheets but not others.
| I get the error message:
| "Cannot use that command on overlapping selections"
|
| Strangely, it works if I perform the steps through the XL interface.
| (Edit+Go To+Special...+Comments and then choose Edit+Delete+Entire Row)
|
| Any ideas would be very appreciated.
|
| Thank you.
