I am trying to automate manual procedures on a spreadsheet - things like
deleting certains fields, rows, putting in new values for certain things etc
(there are quite a few stages to this).

As you can see in my macro code below it makes references to the specific
fields and cells i deleted or renamed etc. Is there a way that this can be
altered in any way that the macro still works even if a new set of data is
pasted over the old? this means that the macro must b able to adjust to the
changing cell refs, the number of cells there are etc. i want this macro to
work on any sheet of the same kind - obviously they are all dated differently
and contain sometimes less or more data but how can the macro be made aware
of this? i dont want to have to re-code the macro everytime.

Also what can i do so the macro is accessible all the time on any machine i
use and even when i re-open the file after having closed it, because at the
moment when i close down that particular sheet the macro disappears!

I have the following code:
