Hello,

I would appreciate any input on this matter.

Not sure if anyone has experienced anything like this before. The file
starts out being around 1meg just a few sheets with lots of VBA code, when
the macro is done it deletes all the VBA code. There are no formulas, I tried
deleting all sheets in the workbook, just leaving one and even deleting all
data. Still I get huge file sizes. around 850KB, not sure what is taking up
the space.

Thank You!

One possibility, try Crl-End to see where the last used cell is, it occurred
to me that if the whole sheet or a large part of it is non blank, like full
of null strings, a huge file size would be the result,
Regards,
Alan.

Hello Alan,

I did as you suggested, still no luck, the file only contains one sheet, no
data of any kind, everything is blank even the formatting. Still around 800
KB, it's crazy! But yet when I use winzip it compresses to 10KB, something
weird happening, just driving me crazy cause I email these sheets all the
time, and I have to compress them each time I send to save space.

If any other suggestions please let me know.

Thanks

Just to be completely explicit, and have no communication failure, when you
press Ctrl-end what cell does the cursor go to?

Hello,

When I press Ctrl+End it brings me to G1, there is absolutely nothing in the
file, no macros no data, that I can see, just one sheet, and it 873KB.

This is intriguing, can you send the file to me? (zipped of course, I don't
want an 8Meg file coming through!) I'd like to actually see it if that's ok
with you,
My address ) on here is a phoney to avoid spam, replace
111 with 8202,

Any pictures in the worksheet?

How about a background (format|sheet|background)?

There is no background or images. The file is not 8 meg, it's (873KB) approx
1 meg. There is nothing in it that I can see, I just don't understand why
it's taking up so much room.

Maybe just a small test.

Open your workbook.
Hit alt-f11 (to get to the VBE)
hit ctrl-g (to see the immediate window)
type this and hit enter
?activesheet.shapes.count

What do you see?

This is a copy of the one to one correspondence,

Hi Dejan,
The problem is that you have (probably) hundreds, if not thousands of named
ranges, typically named PURO0036 which refer to one of your files I would
think:
'C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\EXCEL FILES\UAP\Edmonton\[A -
1 - TEMPLATE.xls]0194'!$A$9:$M$67
I suspect that the macro code you are using is creating them somehow.
I deleted loads of them then saved and the file size reduced, albeit by not
very much! It will take a bit of work to delete all of them. Go 'Insert'
'Names' 'Define' and you'll see them.
I'll copy this to the newsgroup, maybe someone knows a way to delete lots of
named ranges in one go,
Regards,
Alan.

Hello Guys,

Thanks for all the help to all of you! It was the stupid ranges I started
using when I was creating the template, but they are useless, don't need them
at all, so all Is perfect right now, I had at least 250 ranges, so once I
delted them the file was only 15 KB much better.

Thanks so much!
