Running out of resources - how do I start over/clear?

Hi everyone. Quick question.

I am trying to use VBA to subtotal a relatively small amount of information, and on one (out of a hundred or so jobs) I am failing and getting an error message saying that Excel does not have enough resources to complete the task. (And I've tried this on many very good computers, so I know that it isn't a machine issue.) I am also quite sure that the subtotaling is not the issue either, as I have run the report with jobs with thousands more rows without issue, it is a small job that has a problem.

I've given up trying to solve this the logical way, I've spent weeks on this. I just don't care anymore WHY it is happening. (Well I do, but I have a life and I need to move on.) I think I could solve the problem so accounting could get their numbers if I could just stop whatever process was happening to kill the resources - I just want to clear or dump out the memory and start over at BEFORE I start the subtotal process (which is why I haven't posted the code here). I'm not copying or pasting data, I have nothing in memory that I need. Is there any way to make Excel just stop what it is doing and just run my ****ed subtotal?
