I don't think that correct. If it were this would return True:

Sub FirstSub()
SecondSub
MsgBox Application.ScreenUpdating
End Sub

Sub SecondSub()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
End Sub

|
|
| For example
| Sub Test()
| application.screenupdating = false
| '.. other code

| ScreenTest
| debug.print application.ScreenUpdating 'will return True both here

| application.ScreenUpdating = True
| end sub
