Hi all,

I have quite a complicated (and probably pretty badly coded) spreadsheet.

Occasionally I get an 'Out of memory' error when saving it...

there's quite a few things going on with it and I have had a bit of a google and a look on here and I think it may be something to do with one of my macros storing large amounts of data and not getting rid of it - but I can't work it out.

Bearing in mind that I am a complete novice to vba and my attempt is a very poor butchering job and tinkering (I know it will have lots of bad practice probably, but it does work for what I want 99% of the time), would someone be kind enough to have a look and see if anything obvious sticks out!

Many thanks,
Tom

Don't know if it will help, but you can try adding this line after any section that does a copy/paste or a copy/pastespecial to ensure the clipboard is cleared of copied data.
Code:
Application.CutCopyMode = False
