and include each point.

You would use the following to turn off.

With Application
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False
.DisplayAlerts = False
.AlertBeforeOverwriting = False
End With

Then use this to reset them when exiting the routine.

With Application
.Calculation = = xlCalculationAutomatic
.ScreenUpdating = True
.EnableEvents = True
.DisplayAlerts = True
.AlertBeforeOverwriting = True
End With
