Yohan,

You could start another instance of Excel, and put that code in a workbook
open event, and open that workbook in the other Excel instance.

I created some macros to work with Access database.
Apparently, those macros took quite some time to
calculate, around 1-3 minutes. While the macro is
running, the Excel application freezes and I can't work
during that time, only waiting for the macro to finish
the calculation.

Is there any way to tell Excel to run the calculation in
the background, so that I may still be able to work with
my worksheet while the macro is running?

Regards,
Yohan
