There was too much extranious formatting (borders) that took clogged the ability to insert
I cleaned all that up and changed this
dataRange.Rows(8).PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats ' <<<<<<<<<<<<
so that borders didnt get copied to the last column each time
I don't know about the start / end times but at least it runs.
With so little data but such a large file size, I always check to see where the formatting is
The ver1 file is a lot smaller, but you'll probably need to check that the formatting / shading / borders are what you want after the CODE line above
