I have not done macros in some time, but it looks like you are trying to
find duplicate cases on each of 500 variables! which does not make sense?
Or it seems that you are trying to find duplicates within 500 ID numbers.
There would be no need to use a macro for this.
Please explain in more detail what it is you want to do.
