Hi,
i have a macro which depending on data size, can take up to 2 minutes to complete.

Now ive found if whilst this is running the user gets impatient and clicks the mouse / keyboard etc.. then i get "excel not responding"

--

Is there any way to prevent this? Was thinking maybe a userform box that pops up whilst its running and closes on finish but unsure how to integrate this

Thanks for any help
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
You could put this at the start of the code
Code:
   UserForm1.Show vbModeless
and then this at the end
Code:
   Unload UserForm1
It won't stop idiots, but might deter some

You can put your macro, maybe we can improve it a bit.
