Unusual question
I have a macro that takes about 4 hours to run, and I run
it on an XP machine across the room from me. I can stand up from my desk to glance at it and see what stage it's up to (The macro highlights cells after every completed procedure on a 'homepage' to indicate progress). The problem: The computer doesn't realize that activity is happening, and switches to screensaver after a few minutes, then locks, and I can't just stand up and see what stage it's up to. In 97, Excel seems to stay in view. Is there something I can do in the code to keep Excel on view in XP (besides turning screenupdating to True)? Or a setting in Excel? Thanks for any suggestions |

How embarassing. My apologies for my question.
I have never stepped outside the world of Excel, and did not know that such things are possible. Must get out more. -----Original Message----- Dare I suggest you turn your screen saver off via Windows' Display Properties?<g -- Jim Rech Excel MVP . |
