Include error handling to take care of the problem; something like this...

Sub Missive()
.....
.....
On Error GoTo SomethingWentWrong
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
.....
..... <<your code goes here
.....
SomethingWentWrong:
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Hello,

I am using Application.ScreenUpdating = False at the start of my code.

However, if the code stops do to an error or I am debugging and don't
let the code finish, I am unable to access Excel at that point because
screen updating remains false.

How do I get ScreenUpdating to go back to updating so I can get back
into Excel and access the different workbooks?

Thanks,
Scott
