Once the code starts to execute it should not matter if the screensave
starts... Pl. share the complete code... Add Application.ScreenUpdating = False to avoid screen updating during the execution...

the workbook containing the macro crashes if another excel workbook is
opened and being viewed this means that the active workbook is not the workbook containing the call to update links ActiveWorkbook.UpdateLink Name:=ActiveWorkbook.LinkSources if the workbook containing the code is the active workbook no problem On 24 Oct, 15:23, Sheeloo <="to" & CHAR(95) & "sheeloo" & CHAR(64) & "hotmail.com" wrote: Once the code starts to execute it should not matter if the screensave starts...
