I'd use:

'not sure what firstrow is here -- not sure if you want to
'use FirstRow or FirstRow - 1
'for example: if FirstRow is 1, then FirstRow - 1 won't work

'start with the row above
For Lrow = LastRow - 1 To FirstRow - 1 Step -1
'but look at the row below
If .Cells(Lrow + 1 , "A").Value = "Employee Name" Then
.Rows(Lrow).resize(2).Delete
end if
Next Lrow

ps. I hate that single line if/then/else (especially with the line continuation
character). My eyes sometimes miss it and I hate when that happes!

Hi Folks,

I want to delete two rows - one row has the words "Employee Name" in the
first column, and the row before it. This for-next loop removes the row with
"Employee Name":

For Lrow = LastRow To FirstRow Step -1
If .Cells(Lrow, "A").Value = "Employee Name" Then _
.Rows(Lrow).Delete
Next Lrow

Any suggestions how to delete the row with "Employee Name" and the one
before it?

Thanks!

Scott
