Yeah You can use Application.ScreenUpdating=False
But you can also: 1) avoid codes like ".Select" , ".Activate" 2) If you are formatting a sheet, Create a sheet which is already formatted and keep it hidden. And then you can just copy the hidden sheet and paste the format the new sheet. It will save lot of time and the screen will not filcker much in case you dont use "Application.ScreenUpdating=False" when you want the user to be able to see whats happening when the macro is running. As you said your macro is pretty long, you may also want to alow the user to change sheets, scroll or minimise the window etc.. in that case use the code "DoEvents" inside loops On Sep 19, 3:04 am, "Daniel" <dcolarde...@free.fr> wrote: > Hello. > Add the following line at the beginning of your macro : > > Application.ScreenUpdating = False > > Optionally, restore at the end of the macro : > > Application.ScreenUpdating = False > > HTH > > Daniel > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: excel-macros@googlegroups.com [mailto:excel- > > mac...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Tommy > > Sent: vendredi 18 septembre 2009 04:11 > > To: MS EXCEL AND VBA MACROS > > Subject: $$Excel-Macros$$ Screen fluttering during macro run time > > > I have a rather long macro, which when running causes distractful > fluttering > > of the screen, is there a way to either blank out or freeze the screen > during > > that time period? > > Any help appreciated. > > Tommy- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
