We are a small cpa firm, it is tax season... We frequently copy last
year's workbook to set-up the current year. I'm trying to select and
delete all cell comments as part of this set-up process.

I've tried goto special and the comments section of the Review ribbon,
but I seemed to be stumped in trying to select all cells in the
workbook that contain a comment and then to delete these comments
without cycling through the next comment for each comment on the
Review ribbon.

As always, help is much appreciated,

Hi Gord, must be doing something wrong. I have a sample workbook,
three sheets, comments in cell A1, Sheet 1, B2, Sheet2 and C3 in Sheet
3. When I select all sheets, select all cells, F5SpecialComments OK
ReviewDelete, it only deleted the comment of the active sheet --

You did nothing wrong.

My testing was faulty.

Apologies for that.

I see you have gone with Micky's macro which does the job.
