This question may seem a little strange, I have looked around but haven't found an answer that seems to work. I have a program in excel that I wrote that takes between 25 and 45 minutes to run (automates process and data collection and creating reports, hundreds of files). I use windows XP and at work, I ahve the problem of the screen saver kicking on part way through and it creates a problem for some of my code. It is a security issue for work, when the screensaver activates it locks the computer and you ahve to log back in to unlock it (and they won't change it). Is there a way to either disable this with VBA, or put something into my code (22 modules and over 300 pages) that will occasionally do something that will keep the computer active. I have screenupdating turned off for the whole process to help speed things along. Also if it matters I am running exccel 2002

What can I do ??

Thanks for your tim
