Hi,

Is there a code that clears out the systems Stack memory that i could
put in at the end of a macro?

Thanks
 
Haven't had one of those messages in a long time. To cure the overflow
problem, you have to dump the memory. Closing the ActiveWorkbook is one way.
It is best to prevent the memory stack overflow by being careful with your
code structure. Don't keep creating variables that have to store values in
memory until the procedure is completed. Breaking your code into sub
procedures helps. That is, if you have a lengthy program, have a master
procedure that calls the sub procedures when they are needed. That way, the
variables in the sub procedures are emptiedd when each sub ends. Believe me,
there is a lot more to it than what I have touched on, but this little bit
can help. You can Google "Stack Overflow" and get a lot more info.
 
IMHO, if you think you need to be doing that, you should examine you code
again and fix the cause of the problem.
Whilst I'm all for extending the capabilities of VBA/Excel, this is one area
that is best left alone.
