Glad to hear you got it to work (one way or the other!).

I copied the macro and ran it and it made it so my
scroll bar actually works well now, but the extra
rows are still there.

Yeah, as I noted in my other reply you're not actually deleting (removing)
the rows/columns. You're just resetting where Excel thinks your data ends
(the used range). The scroll bar operation correlates to the size of the
used range.

Well i copied and pasted all of my data into a new workbook just to make
sure
I didn't hit some weird setting in the original one and the highlight
delete
method still did not work. Then I copied the macro and ran it and it made
it
so my scroll bar actually works well now, but the extra rows are still
there.
All that I cared about was the scroll bar working so I am satisfied. As
for
the DistMon error I think it has something to do with different Adobe
files
that are stored on my computer (I just looked this up). Thank you for the
time and the help!!

I just tried both methods in an Excel 2007 file and both methods worked.

I'm kind of suspicious of this:

every time I open and close this file, this message pops up
: Compile error in hidden module: DistMon--
think that has anything to do with it??

Thanks for the reply-- that was the same website FSt1 directed me to as
well
and I could not reset the used range using this method for some reason.
As
I
said in my reply to FSt1 above I am unclear on using the macro to
programatically reset the used range-- any direction in that area would
be
helpful thanks!

Note that when you "delete" the unused rows you're not literally
removing
them from the the sheet. Technically, what you're actually doing is
resetting the *used range*.

I am working on an excel file in which I currently have data in 1,650
rows
and there are blank cells within the rows I am working on that need
to
stay
blank. My main problem is deleteing the extra 65,536 blank rows
below
my
data
that randomly appeared when I copy and pasted my data to a new
workbook.
When
I highlight a single blank row or many blank rows beneath my data
and
hit
delete row, they do not go away and it is really annoying because my
scroll
bar had become all but useless- please help! Thanks!
