Can you put up the code?

Does it have:

application.screenUpdating = false

in the macro?

Don't forget to put Application.ScreenUpdating = True

at the end

[Mark O'Brien]

At the end of the macro control is returned to Excel. This automatically sets screenupdating back to true.

The only time I've had problems with screenupdating is when I've set it to false before displaying a userform.

Create a UserForm1 and try this for an example:

Public Sub main()



  Application.ScreenUpdating = False

  UserForm1.Show



End Sub

Now drag the useform all over the screen.
