Hi Bernie
This example loop through row 1 - 100 on the activesheet and if the value in A is the same as in
Sheets("Yoursheet").Range("A1").Value in delete the row
Maybe you can use a Autofilter if you have many rows (faster)
See this page for more info

Sub Example2()
Dim Lrow As Long
Dim CalcMode As Long
Dim ViewMode As Long
Dim StartRow As Long
Dim EndRow As Long
With Application
CalcMode = .Calculation
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
End With
ViewMode = ActiveWindow.View
ActiveWindow.View = xlNormalView
With ActiveSheet
.DisplayPageBreaks = False
StartRow = 1
EndRow = 100
For Lrow = EndRow To StartRow Step -1
If IsError(.Cells(Lrow, "A").Value) Then
'Do nothing, This avoid a error if there is a error in the cell
ElseIf .Cells(Lrow, "A").Value = Sheets("Yoursheet").Range("A1").Value Then .Rows(Lrow).Delete
'This will delete each row with the Value "ron" in Column A, case sensitive.
End If
Next
End With
ActiveWindow.View = ViewMode
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = True
.Calculation = CalcMode
End With
End Sub
