I modified the code somewhat with the intent of speeding it up,
but I can't test it. Even if the speed is not much different,
hiding the workbook buttons in the Taskbar and displaying a
message in the StatusBar will make it seem faster.

1. All variables were declared and two new ones added.
2. I assumed that the code was in workbook
"Operating Report - Southern Summary.xls" and used "ThisWorkbook"
instead, in several places.
3. Like your line labels.
4. I assume the wsExists function is efficiently constructed.

Why? Are you trying to make the code run faster?
Yep :-)
