For Loop exiting early

I have For/ Next loop where I use i=2 to Lastrow. In the loop I insert rows and increment the Lastrow variable to account for the additional row I inserted.

It appears the the program only evaluates the For statement against the original Lastrow value. Is this the case? Is there anything to be done that would allow the Lastrow variable to be incremented and used?

I've seen where the suggestion is to start from the bottom and decrement the i value. Is this the only way?

Whilst it's not the only way, it is strongly recommended that you take this approach.

Yes... the limits for a For..Next loop are only evaluated once at the time the loop starts and are retained until the loop ends.

Use a Do..Loop and handle incrementing the variable manually within it.

As Fluff said, it is the recommended method as it is the simplest way to do this.
