Hi Trevor,

I assume that there are some routines firing on open because of code in the
Workbook_Open sub.
Before opening these, use application.enableEvents=False.
This will disable temporarily the Workbook_Open sub.

Hi Kevin

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately the workbooks that I'm copying
data
from do need the ScreenUpdating functions in them as they are used
separately
before the consolidation process.

If it's not possible, do you know of a way to always keep the master
workbook on top of the other workbooks when they open?

If you create a sub routine that calls all the other subs, you can put
the
ScreenUpdating command in the calling routine and remove it from all the
others.

I have a workbook that consolidates information from other workbooks.
During
the consolidation process I have set ScreenUpdating in the master
workbook to
False. However, the workbooks that I'm copying data from also contain
ScreenUpdating functions which overide the master.

Is there anyway that I can disable ScreenUpdating on the other
workbooks
from the master code? Or, is there another function that I can use?

Thanks in advance.
