Holding a constant page while the macro runs in the background
Hello all...
I've got a macro the performs multiple file open steps and copies range data back and forth between pages on alternating workbooks... the macro works fine... what I'm looking to do is to hold a constant page while the macro steps operate in the background and when all steps are completed, then to pop a message box indicating that the file has been updated... any help would be appreciated -- Joe Mac |

Try...
at the start of your procedure place Application.Screenupdating = False & just above "End Sub" Application.Screenupdating = True msgbox "Completed Update" "Joe Mac" wrote: Hello all...

This should do it for you.
Sub YourMacro() Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'your code MsgBox "The file has been updated." Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub -- Cheers, Ryan "Joe Mac" wrote: Hello all...
