Default Macro limitations

In preparing the file to send to you (there is some very sensitive
information contained in the workbook that had to be deleted), I found that
the macro would work with all of the formulas deleted. When I tried it again
on the full version, the columns would still not delete. The one sheet is
1.05 mb; could that be the problem? Maybe there is too much information for
Excel to delete in one macro.

I entered the code as you have it, but it still does not delete the
columns.
The rows are gone, but the columns are still there. Any ideas on why this
is
happening?

Range("BB1:BB1118").EntireRow.Delete
Range("A1:BB1").EntireColumn.Delete

could even be shortened to
Range("BB1120:BV1139,bc1140:bi1168,bc1178:bi1181") .value= _
Range("BB1120:BV1139,bc1140:bi1168,bc1178:bi1181") .value
rows("1:1118").delete
Range("A1:BB1").EntireColumn.Delete

I have a 9 mb file that I want to create a macro that will
copy/paste/new
workbook/creat a copy for one of the sheets, then copy/paste values
some
of
the cells in the new workbook, then delete A1:BB1119. The macro I
have
written should work, but does not. If I delete the rows and then
the
columns, the rows will delete, but not the columns. If I delete the
columns
first, the rows will not delete. I am thinking Excel may have a
limit
on
how
many deletions it can do in a macro. Do you have any ideas on how I
can
accomplish this task?
