Default Macro to insert rows evry other time

Thanks very much, this was brilliant! I don't know why I didn't think of
this, it is so easy when you know... like most things.

I have a technique which will do this faster than a macro, once it's set up:
If your range goes from A1:J2000, for example, then in K1 enter 1, in K2
enter 2, select K1:K2, double-click the fill handle so you now have numbers
1 thru 2000 in K1:K2000. Copy this range, use ctrl/down arrow (taking you to
K2000), then down arrow to select K2001, then paste. You now have 2 sets of
#s from 1 to 2000. Select all the columns from K to A (selecting them
right-to-left keeps K1 active), then click the sort ascending toolbar
button. Done! The blank rows from row 2001+ are sorted into place. Now you
can clear column K.

Hi!
I have a large database in Excel and I need to insert a row every other
time. When I record a macro in the normal way (by recording what I do) and
then run it, the macro always return to the rows I selected when I

recorded
the macro and insert the rows there.

I need the macro to continue to the end of the database selecting every
other row without specifiing which row it is.

Can anyone out there help me with this as fast as possible?

Many thanks
