I have an Excel application with a bunch of menus and dialogs.

This app can also be invoked from another Acces app, or can be invoked in a
standalone mode.

In the app, I activate various sheets at different points to do stuff. Is
there a way I can stop the screen from refreshing? Or when launched from
Access, can I run it as a black box?

I tried application.screenupdating, but that does not do what I need.

Thanks.
