I have a macro that copies some formula to another section so that it resets
a certain part of my sheet. What the prob is, i have some group boxes (from
form toobar) that have been copied as well. Now i have 15000 group boxes all
on top of one another. Is there an easy way i can delete all the boxes at
once?

Edit--Go to--Special--Objects. This will select them all.

http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/shapes.htm

there is a macro to delete shapes within a selection
if you want to delete them in the active sheet you can use

Sub test()
For Each shp In ActiveSheet.Shapes
shp.Delete
Next
End Sub

note that it will delete other shapes as well but if you only have group
boxes
it should be OK, the link has a macro that will delete what you select in a
sheet
