Thanks all. I finally figured it out. For cRows =..., the column that it
was using to count contained no entries, so the count was zero!!!!! This
code waorks because I sort prior to deleting so that all rows that need to be
deleted are together. When it encounters the first row with a blank cell, it
sits there until finishing the loop. I then have it resort by another column.

Tom,

If I understand you correctly then you may consider the following code.
Also, I very much doubt the code you show could work correctly in any
version of Excel (unless I misundrestood the task)

Regards,
KL

Sub DeleteRows()
Dim cRows As Single
Dim i As Single
cRows = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For i = cRows To 2 Step -1
If Cells(i, 4) 0 Then Rows(i).Delete
Next i
End Sub

The following code does not seem to work in Excel 2000. It worked in
Excel
XP. I need to evaluate a cell, starting at D2, and then delete the row if
the cell is empty stopping at the last row. The column being evaluated
contains dates so if the item is not closed the cell is empty.

Dim TestColumn As Long
Dim cRows As Long
Dim i As Long

TestColumn = 1
cRows = Cells(Rows.Count, TestColumn).End(xlUp).Row
Range("D2").Select

For i = 2 To cRows
If ActiveCell.Value 0 Then Selection.EntireRow.Delete
Next i
