I've never really examined how accurate these numbers are or how quickly
they get updated.
Some quick test now show that a rough correlation between these numbers (or
using the worksheet versions "=INFO("memused") and that used according to
Task Manager. Your link indicates that the numbers are not really to be
trusted though; I would believe that.
It does indicate though that a .Save free up a lot memory, presumably by
clearing the Undo buffer.
That may be enough to allow the OP to complete the routine.

Interesting, but it doesn't seem to work well, which is confirmed he

Paige,
can't really say about your coding/system, but you could call
Application.MemoryFree
Application.MemoryUsed
in suitable places to see when large changes occur.

I have a large workbook; on Sheet1 is an inventory containing 10K lines
of
data, in Cols A-L. My code ('SizeCP') first inserts formulas (in Cols
M-AU)
for each of these lines. It then calls 'SizeCS', which goes to Sheet2
and
inserts formulas in Col A-AU, for as many rows as there are in Sheet1.
Lastly, it calls 'SizeSchedule', which goes to Sheet3 and inserts
formulas in
Cols A-S, for as many rows as there are in Sheet1. The system bombs out
in
the middle part of the 'SizeSchedule' macro with "Excel cannot complete
this
task with available resources.", and I can't figure out why. I've
changed
calculation to manual, tried putting all the Sheet3 data on Sheet1 (so
the
formulas wouldn't have to refer to a different sheet), dropped all the
other
code from the workbook to see if that made a difference, tested it on
another
PC (and in another workbook), and stepped through using watch to look at
the
variables. It doesn't always crash at the same place in the
'SizeInventory'
macro, but it usually happens around Columns D/E; every once in a while
it
will run thru okay, but 99.9% of the time it doesn't. I have plenty of
memory in my PC, and no other apps running. Below is my code; I've
removed
some of the formulas that are in it, just to shorten it for easier
reading.
Could someone look at it and see if they can figure what may be wrong
here;
I'm just at my wits end, having worked on this for 5 days now.
