Assume that you name three columns "Ralph", "Irvin" and "Melvin" respectively.

lc = Cells(1,Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
myRng = Range("A1", Cells(1, lc))
For Each C In myRng
If C < "Ralph" Or .Name < "Irvin" Or C.Name < "Melvin" Then
C.EntireColumn.Delete
End If
Next

I didn't test this so you should before you install it in your regular code.

I have a spreadsheet that people keep adding columns to. I import this sheet
and I have a macro that I hide the unwanted columns. The problem is that I
have to re-write the macro every time they add another (or change) column. I
need to write a macro that will delete the unwanted columns without
re-writing the macro.
EX:
"Column1" "Column2 "Column3"
I want to keep Column1 and Column3 and delete Column2 no matter what its
name or possition.
