To suppress both messages and screen updates you could use the following:

With Application
.DisplayAlerts = False
.ScreenUpdating = False
.StatusBar = "Processing your request, please wait..."
End With

your code goes here

And then reset the environment with the following:

With Application
.DisplayAlerts = True
.ScreenUpdating = True
.StatusBar = False
End With
