To turn them back on again. It is VERY importtant that you remeber to turn
them back on as this is a persistent application level setting. If you forget
to turn them bakc on then then no events will fire in Excel (until you run
code to turn the events back on).

In MS Access VBA code, I'm creating a spreadsheet and pushing some
WorkSheet_Change code into it.

But as I populate various cells - after adding the code - the event
keeps firing and I'm tripping over chicken-egg situations.

I guess the obvious is not to add the code until everything else is
done.. but I'm wary of yet another chicken-and-egg conundrum.

Is there any way to prevent event code from firing until I've finished
building the spreadsheet?
