I have a Do While...Loop processing an array of 8500
records. Each record is transferred to a single row in
another workbook. A number of procedures is processed on
each row and then next record is transferred. Look at the
data below!

Why is this happening??? The speed is excellent the first
5 minutes but then its a disaster! Is Excel "eating"
memory? Is it possible to allocate memory, if that is the
problem, by some method in VBA? Or.....?

I would be VERY happy to a solution!

It's a lot of code in different modules and I think it
would be very difficult to get an overview here. Is it
possible for me to send you my excelfile with the original
code?

Or perhaps copy the code into NotePad, MS Word...?

Please respond to this!

Can't you just copy part of it to a reply? Or, more fully describe the
situation.
If not, and the file is SMALL (on 56k modem), send to

When you transfer the row, do you delete the original?

And if you do delete, do you have those little dotted lines that show where the
automatic page breaks are?

If yes, then try turning them off.
Tools|options|View tab|uncheck page breaks

Then run your macro. If it's quicker, then you can add a line of code to the
top of your macro that turns off the page break display:

ActiveSheet.DisplayPageBreaks = False

(adjust the sheet reference)
