    Deleting objects using Macro

    I have always used a script like this (see below) to delete all objects on my workbook page. However, I have always had the problem that when a user other than myself runs this macro twice, it shifts/deletes a row and messes up the entire workbook. I just need a macro that does the same thing (deletes all objects on a sheet), but one that a user could click multiple times and not mess anything up.

    I think you just needed to clean up the code a bit.

    Deleting objects Macro

    That's not it. I get an error about memory (run time error '7')...do you think it could have something to do with two other large macros in the workbook? Other thoughts?

    I tested the code in my machine and it works fine.

    It deletes every autoshape in the sheet and nothing else.
    If I click it again, the macro does nothing.

    Note:
    You need to fix your thread description as a lot of work is involved in having a searcheable database of problems.

    dreicer_Jarr,

    I see you changed your title, but the code tags needed to be placed too.

    I did that for you this time and restored Portuga's responses...

    Please remember to use the code tags and name your thread appropriately next time. Thanks.
