My experience does not concur with yours.

If you have a progress userform, initiate your code from within there. Your
code should keep updating the form, but that will work fine with no
ScreenUpdating.

Is there a way I can show the progress of a long piece of code by
showing information on a UserForm, even when
application.screenupdating=false?

If the screen isn't updating the information being written to the form
isn't displayed until the application.screenupdtaing=true.

If I leave application.screenupdtaing=true the code takes longer to run
and it makes the screen flicker (in a really annoying fashion!)

I hope there is a way where I can have UserForms updating with the rest
of the application not updating?


I hope someone out there can help me, as I am really stumped on this one.


TIA
