Answer 1

If you're looping and deleting rows, you need to start at the bottom and work up:

For x = endrow To startrow step -1

Then deleting rows will not disrupt your loop.

Answer 2

Another alternative is to put x=x-1 after each delete. But working from the bottom up is better.

Answer 3

Loop forward:

For i = 1 To 10
    'Do something
Next i

Loop backwards (use Step -1 at the end of the for loop):

For i = 10 To 1 Step -1
    'Do something
Next i
