Thanks for that. However it responds with "Run time Error '438'
Object doesn't support this property or method"

I am using Excel 2000.

Hi,

I generally recommend you bracket the command that will cause the message to
display as follows

Application.DisplayAlert = False
' the delete sheet line
Application.DisplayAlert = False

the reason is that this suppresses most alert until the subroutine is
complete and if there are any other parts of your code that would generate an
alert if something was wrong you would not see it.

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

I have a workbook with thousands of sheets and want to use a macro to delete
selected sheets. Problem is the macro is stopped to "The selected sheet will
be permanently deleted, please confirm delete.............".
Can this dialogue box be turned off permanently?
thanks
