Hi folks, Following the success of my recent questions (thanks again) I though I would try something different. Somebody has to give you all something to do!
I'm using VB6 to drive Excel 2002 to open a series of workbooks, each with a single worksheet consisting of on average 1000 rows (although some have up to 3000) each of 6 columns. As each sheet is opened the program has to check all the cells in 3 columns looking for particular values. It uses .Range to get the number of rows in the sheet and uses that in a FOR loop to access each row, on each row it uses .Cell to access the 3 columns looking for these values. It takes *forever*! Typically a 1000 row sheet takes almost 15 seconds to process (and that's on a 3Ghz dual P4 with 1Gb ram) and opening the full 20 workbooks takes what seems like a lifetime! Can anyone suggest a (much) faster way of doing this? With thanks Ian ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Make a clean sweep of pop-up ads. Yahoo!
