This was posted some time ago, I can't find the original post, I was
wondering if this could be modified as noted by astericks below ie. the
range affected
Thanks
Bart

Sub Mypix()

Dim c As Object
Dim eMsg As String
Dim Pathe As String
Dim rngCell As Range
Dim rngSheet As Range
Dim curWks As Worksheet

'Handle errors

'Speed
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'Create reference
Set curWks = ActiveSheet

'Employ reference
With curWks
'Clear all old comments

..Columns("f").ClearComments
'Define range as Col A1 to last row Col A
Set rngSheet = .Range("A1:A" & Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
***change to ******a1:a32 and f1:f32

For Each rngCell In rngSheet

Next c

'Destroy reference\
Set c = Nothing

Set rngSheet = Nothing

'Reset

End Sub

Maybe...

With curWks
'Clear all old comments
.Columns("A").ClearComments
.columns("F").clearcomments
Set rngSheet = .Range("A1:a32,f1:f32")
End With
