Hi Bob
I'm sure there is a VBA way to do this, but in the past I have resorted to saving the entire sheet to a new workbook and then looking at it's file size.

My ususal method is to save it in another name and delete the sheets one by one, but that is painful with a lot of sheets.

You're right - there must be some VBA method.

Why not run the VBA recorder while you delete and save the sheets, then change the sheet name each time you do it.

It still involves saving and closing the workbook, re-opening it and manually recording the new file size. Unless I'mm doing it the hard way...

Being inherintly lazy with a default to bone idle, I'm looking for a quick way - and there's the challenge as well....
