Hi
Try sprinkling your code with the line

DoEvents

It speeded up some Excel charting for me in 2007 (from a situation
where the chart would simply not update without it). I think anything
happening to the GUI is very slow in 2007, so deleting columns would
be a problem??
Does anyone not dislike Vista and Excel 2007???
regards
Paul

Thanks for the help, what do you class shapes as? *Fill colors?
That is the only thing, my dataset has other than ordinairy letter and
numbers.
I just did some timing, and it takes 1 minute and 49 seconds to delete 4
individual columns and set the width of 4 columns. *Seems excessive to me.....
Faster to do it by hand.

I've found that macros take about twice as long, best case, in Excel 2007.
But then I've seen some macros, particularly ones that manipulate "shapes",
become almost unusably slow. *I think this is the way Excel 2007 is and not
the result of some setting.

I have 2 or 3 macros that I created in Excel 2003 that worked great....
When I upgraded to Excel 2007, the macros all slowed to a snails crawl.....
I tried recreating them using Excel 2007, but no different.
I was wondering if there are security settings that need to be changed to
let the macros run faster....My macros run, just very very slowly.- Hide quoted text -
