Compact Workbook
 

I have a workbook that contains 13 sheets with VBA code as well. My file is
rather large as you would expect. I use "Compact & Repair" often in Access
to make my files smaller. Does Excel have anything like this? Or is there a
way to make the file smaller??

Thanks!

Excel doesn't have a compact and repair option.

But if you hit ctrl-end on a worksheet and go past what you think is the bottom
right corner of your data, you can use some techniques at Debra Dalgleish's
site:

You can also reduce the size by cleaning the code.

Excel does not have a "compact" feature.

Hi,
You could delete the blank rows in your code modules and any comments that
are not valid. As well as any routines that are not in use.

also, you do not mention if you use many formulas or colors...
