I am using microsoft query. I have several queries. I changed the properties and added the line you suggested but now I am getting a run time error 1008. Application-defined or object defined error. Where should this line be placed in my macro? Thanks for your help.

i'm assuming that you are using microsoft query and that you are running a
macro to refresh.
1. Right click the query, click properties. uncheck "enable baground refresh"
2. and this line to the macro
Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

this way MSQ wil retrieve all data before the macro starts formating.

I have a spreadsheet that has links to outside sources. I have a macro
that formats the sheet based on the info retrieved. When I try a
refresh all then format. It formats before the new data is received.
It might take 5 seconds or it might take 2 minutes to refresh. Is
there a way to pause a macro until the refresh is complete?
