What is 'not as expected'. The structure of the code is a little wierd in
that your with...end with block refers to Sheets("Invoices"), but it does
nothing on that sheet if you are running this with another sheet active
(Recon??) as the Cells(....) references with all refer to recon. Perhaps
you meant to prefix all those references with a period (.) so it refers to
the Invoices sheet???

Sub DeleteInvoice()
'
Dim i As Long, iLastRow As Long
Dim myInv As String
myInv = InputBox("PLease enter the number of the invoice to
delete...", "DELETE INVOICE", "024908")
With Sheets("Invoices")
iLastRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = iLastRow To 1 Step -1
If .Cells(i, "A").Value = myInv Then
.Rows(i).Delete
End If
Next i
End With
End Sub

what's your specific error & where?
from what i can see, you might need to change this:

myInv = InputBox("PLease enter the number of the invoice to
delete...", "DELETE INVOICE", "024908").value <-----

but i might be wrong because i haven't worked with input boxes.

so you're counting the rows in RECON but you're deleting in INVOICES?
where's the variable being passed from RECON?
