problem with Application.ScreenUpdating
Hi,
Is the purpose of Application.ScreenUpdating = False in an Excel macro supposed to "hide" changes to the workbook from the users? The worksheet that is being created by my macro displays and runs the commands so users can see even though I have Application.ScreenUpdating = False. I don't want anything to display. I am using Windows XP and MS Excel 2003. I have installed MS SP3 also. Why doesn't the Application.ScreenUpdating = False work? Thank you, |

For most people it works. Your experience is not typical. Perhaps if you
posted your code someone might be able to spot the cause. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Betty" wrote in message ...

problem with Application.ScreenUpdating
Betty,
I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Application.ScreenUpdating = False stops the display from changing while your macro is operating. This makes things run quicker and prevents the user from seeing a whole lot of annoying flickering stuff! However, once your macro has run, the changes that were made (values altered, workbooks created and so forth) will all be visible to the user unless you have closed or hidden them.

problem with Application.ScreenUpdating
It worked fine for me. The only thing I saw was the printpreview screen and
a prompt about deleting sheets.

problem with Application.ScreenUpdating
I found the reason why it is not working.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False should work. However, if you use Select or Selection then ScreenUpdating is set back to True. I repeated Application.ScreenUpdating = False after each occurrence.

problem with Application.ScreenUpdating
I am sure littering your code with ScreenUpdating settings solves the
problem, but for everyone else, using Select or Selection does not alter the ScreenUpdating setting. In fact, the main use of ScreenUpdating is to mask such behavior. And as I said, you code ran fine for me as written. Perhaps you have some event code firing that is resetting the Screenupdating. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Betty" wrote in message ...

problem with Application.ScreenUpdating
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm having a similar problem.
On 2 machines, one desktop, one laptop, both running Excel 2000 unde Windows XP, both running same code. One machine (desktop) the screenupdating is always TRUE, so the macr takes forever to run and the screen flashes/flip constantly. On th laptop however screenupdating works as expected. Is there maybe an option setting in Excel that could be preventing th screenupdating from working the same between two machines? Or a setting in Windows that could be conflicting with it -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |
