i copied this section of code from
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/deleting.htm
as listed in another post, and am trying to use in in the middle of
another macro.......
it doesn't kick out an error, but after it deletes the duplicate rows
it skips
over the next section of macro (enclosed by XXX comments)
................
then it goes on & prints as commanded later in the macro.
any ideas why it is skipping over?
when i try to step through it, excel gets hung up
on the deleting columns & i have to shut the program
down....... but if i run the whole macro it doesn't get hung up.
thanks
susan
