If Bob's suggestion works, then the click event would not fire and there
would be no flicker. What are you using the suggestion for?

Many thanks Bob. The problem I have now is screen flickering. I have set
screen updating to false.

I have 13 combo boxes and each has a click event, therefore they all run
through the click event. Is there anyway of taking the screen flickering
out?

You need to have a variable similar to enable events, unset it before
inserting, and then reset after

mEnableEvents = False
'your insert code here
mEnableEvents = True

and in the combobox click event

If mEnableEvents
' do your click stuf
End If

Hi all,

I am seeing if anyone can help. I want to run a procedure that
inserts a
value in a combo box, but everytime I do this it does to the click
event
for
this combo box, which I do not want to happen. I have tryed to
disable
the
click event by using
Application.enableevents = false But this does not work

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I am using excel 2003 and XP
