For most people it works. Your experience is not typical. Perhaps if you
posted your code someone might be able to spot the cause.

Hi,

Is the purpose of Application.ScreenUpdating = False in an
Excel macro supposed to "hide" changes to the workbook
from the users? The worksheet that is being created by my
macro displays and runs the commands so users can see even
though I have Application.ScreenUpdating = False.

I don't want anything to display.

I am using Windows XP and MS Excel 2003. I have installed
MS SP3 also.

Why doesn't the Application.ScreenUpdating = False work?


Thank you,
