your code at any one time. –Jon Egerton Jan 18 '13 at 10:34 Release Variant, Object whenever possible (Erase, Set object = nothing) . ReDim them to a more reasonable size, loop them in buffer size. But most probably reason is the spreadsheet too large (check in task manager if it's taking >500M RAM before running any macro) . You may want to open a read-only spreadsheet, remove all unused Sheets ( This will free a lot of memory) –Larry Jan 18 '13 at 10:37 You should show the code which is causing the problem. –Tim Williams Jan 18 '13 at 15:54 You could use 64bit office to get round the issue temporarily but you still need to address the problem like mentioned my most people. –Dreamwalker Jan 24 '13 at 14:20 2 You might not even be having memory issues - I've encountered VBA reporting "Out of Memory" errors, when the root cause was a function in an add-on DLL I had written raising an exception, thinking VBA would report that to the user. Apparently "Out of Memory" can also be VBA's way of saying "I don't know WTF to do about this"! –Loophole Jul 21 '14 at 3:00 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 8 down vote The best way to help

For a version of this tip written specifically for earlier versions of Excel, click here: Out of Memory Errors when Accessing the VBA Editor. Chris wrote about a problem he is having with VBA. It seems that he's getting the error message "out of memory" when attempting to access the VBA editor. He's tried closing all other applications, checked for background programs, and he has ample disk space. The error message even occurs in workbooks with relatively small procedures. It could, realistically, be any number of conditions causing the problem. Because of this, it can be hard to track down the cause. There are a couple of clues that suggest that the problem may be due to either an add-in or to a problem with your macro modules. You can figure out if it is an add-in by simply starting Excel with all the add-ins disabled. Add them back in, one at a time, until you notice the error again cropping up. You will then have a pretty good idea that the problem is caused by the last add-in you enabled. If the problem is not due to your add-ins, then you should suspect your macro modules. If you spend

Currently, the saved spreadsheet is about 76MB, and pretty much all of it gets read into arrays in memory for various manipulations. At times, I get Visual Basic out of memory "out of memory" error messages, and when I use the Application.MemoryUsed and Application.MemoryAvailable functions, I show about 1,000,000 bytes available and about 84,000,000 bytes used. At the same time, though, when I use Ctrl-Alt-Delete to look at my SYSTEM memory, I have lots free... Excel is using about 500 MB, and I have over that much physical memory showing as available (I have 2GB ram on the computer). So I'm thinking that there's a limit in Excel that I'm really close to, 84,000,000 used and 1,000,000 available, and I start to write this post to see if there's a way to allocate more of my physical memory so that Excel can use it, since I'm not done doing all the things I want to do with this data. HOWEVER, when I try to generate the exact "out of memory" error by loading an older (but still large) version of the spreadsheet, to my surprise I do NOT get an out of memory error, but instead my "in use" memory in Excel shows 155,000,000+ bytes, and the "available" memory shows THE SAME 1,048,576 bytes available. Huh. Am I IN FACT close to any limits for memory, or will Excel actually use whatever the system has available and I'll only get errors when I have other programs in use hogging
