Macro makes mistakes when ScreenUpdating etc. = False.

Hello,

I have a .xlsm - and if I freeze the screen with code, it makes errors. Everything is run from sheet "Mainscreen".


My issue is it seems by freezing the screen, it does not give me all data. Only 2 of 8 rows it would give me without screen freezing, at most. It works perfectly without issue unless I try to freeze the screen. (This is an isolated part of a much larger project, and everything has been tested ALOT, - I can confirm the data, and the results. I have run it isolated, and in concert, and both ways, it works perfectly until this code is active in this module, or it is called by a subroutine with this code in it.)

Specifically, I have a variant number of rows on a sheet "NOC" with an array of data in columns B:K - B is the index column for my reports.

I need to copy all ranges B:K on this worksheet "NOC" and paste them starting with Row B12 on Worksheet "P5A" Worksheet , which will generally have more than 100 and less than 10000 rows. However, it would be nigh impossible for there to be 500 rows on the same "P5A" form. I also need to get the values from range "L:O" that row in Worksheet "NOC" into the range B5:B8 on the "P5A" worksheet. - This will always be the same for any rows with the same value in Column B, so it only needs to happen before the file is saved. I then need to save a copy of the P5A form into a folder, and blank out the P5A form and do the next one.

My Code works, until it doesn't - for some reason, when I try to add (and later remove, of course) the code to not make the screen change, it fails to capture all lines. It only catches two of eight lines for one value in column B. If I error out this code, it works flawlessly.

Everything works fine until I add in the true and false Application display and screen updating etc.

I would appreciate any help in troubleshooting this annoyance, or helping me streamline my code.

Public Sub PRODUCE_P5A()

It is always best to post your entire code, unedited.
Otherwise members may end up wasting their time & yours, pointing out errors that don't actually exist.
It can also make it difficult (sometimes impossible) to find the problem, as it might be in part of the code that was removed/modified.

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
Ok, fair enough. I just changed everything to be more ambiguous. So - here.

My code, for some reason is working correctly but only when I run it from the VBA window. I have test data, and it appears my real issue is not solved - and is likely an issue with the way I am trying to parse data to my report page. Thanks to anyone who takes a look and can fix this for me! I am happy to answer any questions to help solve this, or to try and do it myself if someone can refer me to a thread where it was already done. (I looked before posting).

If there is a way I can filter the data for each given value in column B and copy it to another sheet, starting at b12, that is what I was trying to do and failed to do, this is just a workaround, and it only works from the vba window.

Apart from not being needed removing Select/Activate can simplify something like this.
Code:
Sheets("NOC-DATA").Select
Cells(2, 2).Select


StrClientID = ActiveCell.Value

That can be written in one line.
Code:
StrClientID = Sheets("NOC-DATA").Cells(2,2).Value
