hi all

I have complex excel sheet that does lots of calculations. It used to
take 3 minutes to run. Now I use "Application.Calculation =
xlCalculationManual" at the start and "Application.Calculation =
xlCalculationAutomatic" at the end and it takes 30 seconds to run.

The problem is, now while it is running a "total white screen"
appears, as if it is not responding at all. But after it finishes
running, it returns back to normal.

Any ideas how to get rid of or hide the white screen? Thanks,
sincerely

Without seeing the code......hard to tell what the big white screen is but try
this.

Application.ScreenUpDating = False

'do all the stuff

Application.ScreenUpDating = True
