I am using the following section of code to retrieve preliminary tidal
data from a NOAA gage. The program works fine if I am retrieving about
9 days worth of data or less. Any more than that and I get the error
"Excel cannot complete this task with available resources..." during the
copying portion.

I have other programs that retrieve many more lines of data without a
problem, so it shouldn't really be an issue with the amount of data.

Any thoughts?


Sub GetProvisionalData()

Dim Today_Date As Long
Dim Today_str As String
Dim PrelimStart_Date As Long
Dim PrelimStart_str As String

Dim LewesPreliminary_URL As String

Worksheets("Sheet1").Select

Range("a1").Select
' Selection.End(xlDown).Select
PrelimStart_Date = ActiveCell.Value + 1

Today_Date = Date * 1

'replace existing query:
Worksheets("Sheet2").Select
Cells.Select
Selection.ClearContents
Selection.QueryTable.Delete
Range("A1").Select


Today_str = Format(Today_Date, "yyyymmdd")
PrelimStart_str = Format(PrelimStart_Date, "yyyymmdd")

' Get first batch of verified data
