I am using Office 2000 and am using the worksheet_chage event to manipulate
a few things in the sheet. The 'Change' event doesn't catch when a user
deletes a range of cells. Is it possible to catch the deletion of a range
of cells, or a row or a column?

Thanks in advance!!

You can set up a keypress trap in the open event of the workbook:
Application.Onkey "{del}","RunMyDeleteProcedure"

at that procedure you can still clear the cells or whatever, and know that
they pressed that key.
Be sure to turn off the running of your procedure when the workbook is
closed (or deactivated, maybe):
Application.Onkey "{del}"

Eric,

IIRC, Excel XP handles this properly, and XL2000 and earlier versions don't.
What version do you have, and what is the code that you are running?
