DisplayAlerts & ScreenUpdating Properties Changing Unexpectedly
I have an Excel workbook that I am controlling via VBA through a module in
Microsoft Access. I have set the Excel DisplayAlerts and ScreenUpdating properties to FALSE. However, whenever I use the select method (.Range(A1).Select) the DisplayAlerts & ScreenUpdating properties auotmatically change themselves back to TRUE. Does anybody know why this is happening and how I can prevent it? Dim appXL As Excel.Application Set appXL = GetObject(, "Excel.Application") appXL.Workbooks.Open ("D:\My Documents\My Safe Documents\WorkingATB\horton.xls") appXL.Application.DisplayAlerts = False appXL.Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'If I use a watch expression both properties are still indicating FALSE at this point. appXL.Range("C2").Select 'If I use a watch expression both properties have just changed back to TRUE after the select method is carried out. Help please! |

DisplayAlerts & ScreenUpdating Properties Changing Unexpectedl
I am using Excel 2000. However, when the file I am working with is sent to
Excel from Access (OutputTo action on a query) it defaults to an Excel 5.0/95 Workbook. Does this have something to do with it? If so any workarounds that you know of. I appreciate the help.

DisplayAlerts & ScreenUpdating Properties Changing Unexpectedl
Here is the only article I could find on it (I know there are others). This
article doesn't cite anything past xl95, but I know it was a problem through xl97 and possibly through xl2000 (at least for one of the settings). The article does suggest some workarounds I believe (or has links to some). One workaround is to create a macro in the automated workbook. That macro includes code to make the settings. Once created, it is then executed. All this is done with the automation client. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;153043 Controlling Alerts and Updating in MS Excel OLE Server -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "William Horton" wrote in message ...

Thank you. I'll create the Excel macro in a new Excel workbook and have
Access call the macro in that workbook each time. Your research is much appreciated. "Tom Ogilvy" wrote: Here is the only article I could find on it (I know there are others).
