I have a long macro that runns fine when the excel screen is active
but when I minimize is goes very very slow......
Is there anyway to stop this??

Not testet, but try to put this line at the begininng of your macro:

Application.Screenupdating = False

And put this line at the end of the macro:

Application.Screenupdating = True

If it doesn't help you might want to show your code.

Regards,
Per

I use what you suggested already as this macro is started from another
