Hi guys,

I made this command, before it was working fine. I have been using it for quite sometime now.

Sheets("DATABASE").Rows("4:1048576").Delete

Now suddenly there is an error showing, I didn't change anything to my programming.

Error 400.

Tried this too in hope that it will get fixed.

Sheets("DATABASE").Rows("4:1048576").EntireRow.Delete

But no success.

I experimented with it, tried reducing the cells value to 4:1048000 It worked for a short while after a few calls... then it started its pop up Error 400 again.

Can anybody explain to me why is this happening. ?


Thanks again for the help.
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
If you run the code below does it give any more info?

Code:
Sub Errcheck()
On Error GoTo Errorcatch
Sheets("DATABASE").Rows("4:1048576").Delete
Exit Sub

Errorcatch:
MsgBox Err.Description
End Sub

Btw, is there any reason why you are deleting so many rows?

When I run step by step It showed an error 1004 something...

I started using this procedure cause I noticed there are data's that are not seen I made sure all are deleted...
My file reached 10mb, after I accidentally discovered this, I made it a routine, my file size went down from 10mb to 600kb.
Since then When I refresh my sheet I use this method of deletion.

now I made it 4:10000 it works with no error. I just want to know why sometimes it works sometimes it don't. I want it to be all cells downward deleted to be very clean and sure like before.

You could also use


Code:
Sub MM1()
    Range(Rows("4:4"), Rows("4:4").End(xlDown)).EntireRow.Delete
End Sub
