Ok first 1... (I'm using Excel 97)

Is there a way of turning off screen updating while a macro runs? I have a macro that takes about 30 mins to run and I was hoping that if I turn off the screen updating it may speed up slightly. (I'm sure I saw a way of doing this but I can't find it again!)

Second question is about combo-boxes. How do I go about increasing the size of the text in one of my combo-boxes?

thanks all for your time!

look for the property TextColumn of the combobox and adjust the value next to it to be the needed number of columns
