Hello.

I have a program in excel that we are using to track our protective orders.
I have the information broken into two worksheets, one for active orders and
one for expired orders. The general user of this program will never see the
actual worksheets because of userforms that are made for them to work with.
My question is this:

I have a script written now that will search the active list for any records
that indicate that they are expired or have been terminated. It does this by
looking at column "X" to determine if the record itself is a test record, and
if it is not, it look at column "C" to get the value from the formula
("VALID", "INVALID", "EXPIRED", "TERMINATED"). Those values are determined
by a legnthly formula that references about 8 other columns in the record to
validate it. When the script finds one matching either "EXPIRED" or
"TERMINATED" it copies the entire row to the second worksheet and certain
information to a third worksheet to printout for manual updating of the hard
copies. The problem I am having is that I cannot get it to delete the record
after it has copied it to the other sheets. How can I get excel to delete
the records off of Sheet1 after it has been moved to Sheet2?

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Scott,

A little difficult to be specific without seeing the code. But let us assume
that you have found the row and that is stored in a row number variable of
cRow, then delete that row with

Cells(cRow,1).Entirerow.Delete

Bob,

Here is the initial script that searches the records:

Sts = "EXPIRED"

Set f = Columns(24).Find(What:=Ind)

If f Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "No records were found that needed updating.", vbOKOnly, "Update

Exit Sub
End If

f.Offset(0, 0).Activate

Loop

If Udts = 0 Then

vbOKOnly, "No updates needed"
Exit Sub
End If

lp = 0

If Udts = 1 Then
Sheet7.Activate
ActiveSheet.PrintOut
Udts2 = Udts
Do Until Udts2 = 0
Udts2 = Udts - 1
lp = lp + 1
Cells(7, 1).Activate
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Delete
If lp = 1000 Then
Exit Do
End If
Loop
End If

Sheet7.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Sheet2.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Sheet1.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden
Sheet4.Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

MsgBox "All lists have been updated. " & Udts & " records have been
updated.", _
vbOKOnly, "Update Complete"

End Sub



This is the formula that returns the status of "VALID", "EXPIRED",
"TERMINATED", or "INVALID", which is the actual contents of the cells in
column "C":

=IF(D4="","INVALID",(IF(H4="","INVALID",(IF(M4="YE S","TERMINATED",(IF(K4="INDEF","VALID",(IF(ISTEXT( K4),"INVALID",(IF(K4=TODAY(),"VALID",(IF(K4="","I NVALID","EXPIRED")))))))))))))


Cell references here are as follows:

D4 - 1st Person Last name
H4 - 2nd Person Last name
M4 - Yes/No field if it has been terminated
K4 - Expiration date

Thanks for your help.
