I have a sheet named Menu that contains command buttons the user will
choose from. I would like for the view to stay on Menu as the macro
executes. Is there a way to keep the focus on this sheet? Here's an
example of one of the button commands.


Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'Find Record via PO# - enter # and choose from Current or Deleted
sheet.

'Unhides columns for Search
Application.Goto Reference:="_2nd_PO_PL"
ActiveCell.Columns("A:N").EntireColumn.Select
Selection.EntireColumn.Hidden = False

' user will enter PO# to search for
UserForm12.Show

End Sub

Thanks,
J.O.

at the beginning of your macro, add

application.screenupdating=false

and near the bottom add

application.screenupdating=true

then the screen won't jump around following your macro. will just
stay on the Menu sheet.
hth!

Sure, don't write code that goes to the other sheet

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'Find Record via PO# - enter # and
'choose from Current or Deleted sheet.

'Unhides columns for Search
Application.Range("_2nd_PO_PL") _
.Columns("A:N").EntireColumn.Hidden = False

UserForm12.Show

End Sub

answered the question properly OR completely. or in this case, i
answered the question but didn't address the problem.

I think you assume to much as to my motives relative to your suggestion.
Where I am posting, you came along after me by 14 minutes. It seems that
what is shown as time isn't universal - so best to assume that any posts made
within probably an hour were done without knowledge of other answers/posts
(unless, they are children within a single thread). Remember that posts are
made to servers all over the world and migrated in a rather informal fashion.

yes, i've noticed that problem timing when an "answer" appears
before the "question." i hadn't considered that in this situation.

but please understand i wan't at all trying to imply that you are
following me around correcting me on purpose! :) it's just kind of
funny - & you have so much more experience than me. so your answers
are generally either more thorough or have a better understanding of
what the OP wanted/asked.

Now I am commenting on/supplementing your post. That is true if he had
returned to menu in his code, then turned screenupdating on, but he didn't.
So to utilize your suggestion, he should.
