Just to share...It appears to me that Excel 2007 has a more serious bug than
in earlier versions in regards to a particular issue.
This code will corrupt Excel 2007
When testing routines to Reset the Used Range, we first corrupt the
worksheet with code that is similar to what the op is asking for.

Sub Demo()
Dim Rng As String

Range("A1:C3").Select
Rng = Selection.Address

Columns.EntireColumn.Hidden = True
Range(Rng).EntireColumn.Hidden = False

Rows.EntireRow.Hidden = True
Range(Rng).EntireRow.Hidden = False

Application.Goto Range("A1"), True
End Sub

Sub Reset()
Cells.EntireColumn.Hidden = False
Cells.EntireRow.Hidden = False
End Sub

Not quite sure what you want but this will hide all rows and columns not
selected with the cursor.
Sub hideallbutselection()
Cells.Rows.Hidden = False
Cells.Columns.Hidden = False
With Selection
fr = .Cells(1, 1).Row
fc = .Cells(1, 1).Column
lr = .Rows.Count
lc = .Columns.Count
'MsgBox fr
'MsgBox fc
'MsgBox lr
'MsgBox lc
If fr < 1 Then Rows(1 & ":" & fr - 1).Hidden = True
If fc < 1 Then Range(Cells(fr, 1), Cells(fr, fc - 1)).EntireColumn.Hidden
= True
Range(Cells(fr + lr, 1), Cells(65536, 1)).EntireRow.Hidden = True
Range(Cells(1, fc + lc), Cells(1, 256)).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
End With
End Sub

I have the following code:

Sub HideAroundSelection()
Dim intRows As Integer
Dim intCols As Integer
Dim rngAbove As Range
Dim rngRight As Range
Dim rngBelow As Range
Dim rngLeft As Range


intRows = Selection.Rows.Count
intCols = Selection.Columns.Count
'MsgBox ("introws = " & intRows & vbLf & "intcols = " & intCols)
With Selection
Set rngAbove = .Cells(1, 1).Offset(-1, 0)
Set rngBelow = .Cells(1, 1).Offset(intRows, 0)
Set rngRight = .Cells(1, 1).Offset(0, intCols)
'Set rngLeft = .Cells(1, 1)

If rngAbove.Row < 1 Then
Range(rngAbove.Offset(-1, 0), .Cells(1, 1). _
Offset((1 - .Cells(1, 1).Row))).EntireRow.Hidden = True
End If
If rngBelow.Row < ActiveSheet.Rows.Count Then
Range(rngBelow.Offset(1, 0), rngBelow.Offset _
(ActiveSheet.Rows.Count - rngBelow.Row)).EntireRow.Hidden =
True
End If
If rngRight.Column < ActiveSheet.Columns.Count Then
Range(rngRight.Offset(0, 1), rngRight. _
Offset(0, ActiveSheet.Columns.Count -
rngRight.Column)).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
End If
'If rngLeft.Column < 1 Then
'Range(rngLeft.Offset(0, -1), rngLeft. _
'Offset(0, 1 - rngLeft.Column)).EntireColumn.Hidden = True
'End If

End With
Set rngAbove = Nothing
Set rngRight = Nothing
Set rngBelow = Nothing
Set rngLeft = Nothing


End Sub

before this runs I have:

Sub stopautocalc()
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
End With
End Sub

It still runs a little slow. Is there a way to speed it up?
Thanks
