Do I have to set the parent of the message box to point to the Excel's main
window?

Hi Mircea,

Try setting the ScreenUpdating property of the Excel Application object
to
True before displaying any forms or messageboxes. I'm not sure why it
would
be False, as it defaults to True. But explicitly setting it to True
should
fix what you're seeing.

I.m not sure it will help but it's worth trying. I did a test where I set
this property to false. I then dragged other windows over Excel, both from
Excel and from other programs. Excel redraw as it should. I don't think
this
command prevents Excel's main window from being redrawn although it
prevents
updated values in cells to appear.
