Rules six through 11 have a marginal impact. The first five rules generally have the largest impact on macro performance.
This article is primarily focused on Excel VBA macros, however many of these rules apply to Microsoft Access VBA macros as well. It is easy to lapse into bad programming habits when working with small macros, but with large macros and macros that run a long time it is critical to use efficient coding. This article lists my top rules for speeding up VBA. As the proud owner of several large VBA macros, I have spent a considerable amount of time looking for ways to make macros run faster.
