did you also try setting calculation to manual before running the improved
code?

Thanks Gary.

FYI, this method reduced 5,334 row inserts from 4:00 minutes, to 2:05!
Thanks!

I am using Office 2003 on Windows XP.

Presently I have code that inserts two blank rows based on changes in
a
criteria column, the insert code (which feeds the appropriate row
number
from
an array) looks like this:

For lX = UBound(saRows) To 1 Step -1
Rows(saRows(lX)).EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlDown
Rows(saRows(lX)).EntireRow.Insert Shift:=xlDown
Next lX

The above code is inefficient since it has to perform two separate
inserts
every time. Rather than having two separate identical code lines and
therefore doing two separate inserts, isn't there a way to tell it how
many
rows to insert and then insert them all in one action and in one line
of
code? I'm trying to speed up the insert process.

Could someone please fix my code to do a two line insert in one go?

Thanks much in advance.
