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

I thought screenupdating always reset back to true when code ended (either
nornally or after an error)

If you're stuck with it turned off then you might be able to use the
immediate window to type

Application.Screenupdating=True

then hit enter

In the VBE, press Ctrl+G, then type

application.screenupdating = true

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
