Default Macro freezes Excel

Hi all

I wrote some macros to interact and manipulate data in Access from Excel
The macros works fine, but took quite a while to finish the calculation, around 2-3 minutes, and while performing the calculation, Excel freezes
If running that macro only once in a while is no problem.. but it's starting to get irritating if everytime you run the macro, you need to wait for 3 minutes before you can get back to the Excel file again

My question is
Is there any way to tell Excel to run the macro in the background so that I can still work on my Excel file while Excel is doing the calculation

Regards
Yohan
