Jeannie,

Is automatic calculation turned on? Is it recalculating after each row is
deleted (watch the status bar in the bottom left corner of the XL
window...It will say something like "Calculating" and give a percentage)?
Does this workbook/worksheet take some time to recalculate?

If that is your issue, then you can turn AutoCalc off by putting this as one
of the first lines in your macro:

Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual

.... and then turn it back on by putting this as the last line in the macro:

Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic

HTH,

Conan

Hi Experts:

I have used this macro before and it worked perfectly...however, now when
it
searches and deletes the rows that I want it to, it takes forever to go
through the document....It used to go through very fast and deleted the
rows,
but now it deletes one row at a time very slowly....I have about 10000
records for it to go through and delete the records that are in the macro
and
it takes a long time to complete...What might be wrong with this Macro?

Sub DeleteLOATermedDupRecords()

'
For i = 1 To 12000
If Cells(i, "J") = "LOA" Or Cells(i, "J") = "Termed" Or _
Cells(i, "J") = "Duplicate" Then
Rows(i & ":" & i).Select
Selection.Delete Shift:=xlUp
i = i - 1
End If
Next i

End Sub


Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
