free memory during macro execution

[bagullo]

Hi,

I have a macro which creates a fair number of sheets and charts --
during execution sometimes it produces an error when attempting to paste some chart. I assume this is due to memory contrains since it does not happen always and the problem solves itself when I restart excel.

is there any way to free up memory or clear whatever it is that is bugging this process?

buying a better computer would do the trick I guess -- but not an option unforunately.

thanks!

To best describe or illustrate your problem you would be better off attaching a dummy workbook, the workbook should contain the same structure and some dummy data of the same type as the type you have in your real workbook - so, if a cell contains numbers & letters in this format abc-123 then that should be reflected in the dummy workbook. Don't upload a picture when you have a workbook. None of us is inclined to recreate your data. Upload the workbook and manually add an 'after' situation so that we can see what you expect. In addition clearly explain how you get the results.

it produces an error when attempting to paste some chart

Which error ?

Why would you copy charts in the first place ?

Which method do you use to copy a chart ?
