Application.ScreenUpdating = False Not Working??
Jul 18, 2006
I've got a listbox which populates a second listbox from cells on a hidden worksheet which is done through macros. Every time I select a value in the listbox, the screen " flickers" to the hidden worksheet. I want to be able to do the whole process without that "flickering". I tried using Application.ScreenUpdating = False, but it still flickers. Have I overlooked something?
Sub GetStaffteamQuery()
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
Dim sConnParams, sSQL As String
Dim dbFile, dbPath, dbName As String
ThisWorkbook.Activate
Sheet3.Select
dbFile = "CounsellorData.mdb"
dbName = "CounsellorData"
dbPath = Sheet3.Range("databaselocation").Value
selectedgroup = Sheet3.ListBox1.Value
If VBA.Right(dbPath, 1) <> "" Then
' if last char in dbPath has no slash.................

For some reason Application.ScreenUpdating = False has stopped working for me.
For testing purposes, I have freshly opened Excel (2003 SP3) and into the brand new workbook, added the following macro:
*****************
Sub Test()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For i = 1 To 40
ActiveCell = i
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Next i
End Sub
*****************
When I run this macro, I see the individual values being written on the screen.
Stepping through the code and using Watch, I can see that Screenupdating is set to False by the first line, but as soon as the Activecell is changed, Screenupdating is reset to True.
If I turn events off by adding Application.EnableEvents = false to the start of the macro, all works as expected, however I do not want to use this "workaround" as I use event driven macros.

I think it may be somthing to do with the loop?
The macro is run off a toggle button which then selects a range of cells for the source data for my chart.
Sub ChartDynamic()
Dim x As Integer
Dim r1, r2 As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'H30 is the Period number
x = Range("H30").Value
Range("W:W").Select
Selection.Find(What:=x, After:=ActiveCell, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=True).Activate........................

trying to copy both the values and the format of a certain range from one worksheet to another I am faced with two problems:
a) how can I copy something without having to previously add ".select"? (in the end I want to avoid any screen flickering)
b) how can I copy both the values and the format in one line (currently I have to use two lines)
Current problem:
Below you can find a code snippet which is repitetiously launched in order to copy data(+format) from many sheets to one sheet, there is other code as well (not shown here), which is launched in between (dealing with charts and pictures). In order to avoid some screen flickering I have already included the "screenupdating=false" line, and I would like to drop the usage of any ".select" in my code, as any ".select" seems to update the screen irrespectively of "application.screenupdating=false" or not.
However, as soon as I erase any ".select" command, I get a runtime-error 1004 at the SECOND run of this code snippet here. The only way to circumvent this seems to include ".select" prior to the line causing the error. Why at the second run? Well, I think, it is because after the second run, the focus might remain with a chart and not anylonger at any cell. Is there any way executing the below code without the screen-flickering?
Sub copySample(ByVal M As Integer)
Dim wksTarget As worksheet, wksNow As Worksheet
Const maxRowsConsidered=1000
Set wksTarget=Worksheets("target")
Set wksNow=Worksheets(M)
columnNow = ((m-1)*8)+1
Application.ScreenUpdating =False

If I'm starting in Sub #1 and I have turned screenupdating off, then later in the procedure I call a function that also has screenupdating off (and also back on at the end of the function), will I get a slight flicker here? I'm noticing a slight one, and I can only imagine that it's where the screenupdating is being triggered again. (removing the updating from the function isn't an option, because another procedure calls the same function & needs it turned off)

I have a command button on the first sheet of my workbook that opens a Userform. The following stages are simplified so as to not confuse the problem I am having. The user enters a word into a Text Box in the Userform, and when they click OK (Command Button), the second sheet of the same workbook activates, and the macro finds the word from a list in Column A. It then makes that cell the Activecell and then activates the first sheet again before closing.
The problem is that I would like all that to happen with Screen Updating turned off, so the user doesn't see the sheets change. For some reason, I can't get it to work. From my research, I have read that Screen Updating should not be turned off until after the Userform opens, or if you move the Userform around the page it will work as an eraser. So I presumed I had to add to the Search Button
Private Sub SearchButton_Click()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Sheets("Sheet2").Activate
'\The rest of the code follows here
so that when you click the Search Button the first thing it does is turn off Screen Updating. But for some reason this doesn't work.
I also tried adding the code into the sub that calls the Userform:
Sub OpenUserform()
UserForm1.Show vbModeless
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
End Sub

i use this to refresh webdata and copy cells:
Sub refreshAllQueries()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
On Error Resume Next
Dim qryTable As ClsModQt
For Each qryTable In QueryTableListeners
If Not qryTable.qtQueryTable.Refreshing Then
qryTable.forceRefresh
DoEvents
Dim a As Long
i thought the 'application.displayalerts = false' would stop the pop up box that says something like ' this webquery returned no data,blah, blah' but it does not. trouble is it freezes the sheet until i click ok, but i want to be able to leave unattended. i have posted this before, but not with this code.

Sub Workbook_Open()
Application.visible = false
call Program
End Sub
It seems to work, except that the workbook is visible for about 1 second. I have a user form that opens for username/password verification.
Is there any way to prevent the workbook from becoming visible at all until I want it to?

I am using this macro to open a selected folder and apply a macro to all the file in the folder. However, I don't want the user to see what is the loaded file doing. I mean, all the selected file will be formatted by the calling macro in minimize way.

I have a simple macro that from Outlook Express sends emails, with the last code line to mimic ALT+S on the keyboard to send the message
Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:02"))
Application.SendKeys "%s"
Yesterday I needed to install some new software that required at the end reinstalling of Microsoft Redistributable 2005. Not sure if for that reason but now the last line (the SendKeys) is not sending the email automatically anymore. What happens is:
-the email message windows pops up but is not being sent unless i do it manually (if i get rid of the two seconds pause ahead of that)
-have a VB error message that takes me before the SendKeys line (if I keep the two secs wait ahead of that)
It looks to me that either:
-the pc is not active anymore on the email message therefore the SendKeys doesnt work
-somehow the instruction finds the "door" shut by something else
-worse of all, the software has messed up with those send keys commands (tried to reinstall it but to no avail)

This relates to Excel for Mac 2004
I'm trying to use Application.FileSearch in a procedure to open files in a folder one by one and then do some stuff. It works fine when I developed it on my Windows machine but won't work on the Mac platform. The culprit instruction seems to be the
Application.FileSearch instruction, and I've also tried what I think may be a Mac equivalent Application.FileFind, but I get the 'Object doesn't support this action' error.
So I wrote a simple procedure below just to test the .FileSearch instruction but this fails in the same way.
Any ideas anyone? I've commented out lines which relate to Windows syntax.

I am trying to make a change to an existing and working application. Right now, I read in a list of clients from my spreadsheet to my Userform. When the user (that's me as well) clicks on a name, (or names) the software takes over and does stuff with their biweekly payments. What I want to do is this: Not only show the names, but also the biweekly payments next to the names. The reason for this is some clients send in more than the assumed biweekly payment. As a first start, I changed my Initial function to read in two columns from my spreadsheet and not just one. The range name listbox_rwosource is d100:e112.
This is the only change I made. However, when I run the program - I still only see the names?
Public Sub InitMyUF()
Dim I As Integer
'UserForm1.ListBox1.RowSource = "current_clients"

I wrote a macro to list all the excel files from a directory and its sub-directories to an excel sheet. It is working in excel 2003 but shows error (object does not support this action) in 2007. Actually I have copied almost this entire macro from excel 2007 help only. Can somebody modify this to use in both the versions of excel?

I am trying to hide the excel 2010 application, open a csv file on a network drive, show the excel application.
The problem is a "Downloading" progress indicator appears, during the workbook open event I assume.
Code:
Sub Macro1 ()
Application.Visible = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Workbooks.Open Filename:="S:LOGT5.CSV"
Application.Visible = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
I have seen the similar progress indicator during the "Save" event too. How to hide this?

I have written a number of macros, and I typically use Application.Screenupdating = False at the start, and set it True at the end of each macro. However, I now have some big macros which call others as subroutines. This results in the screen updating for each pass thru a called macro, as the Application.Screenupdating = True statement is executed. Is there a means to repress this at the top level, or is there a better approach to take in writing code which will stop screen update for a macro, but not restart it each time the macro is called as a subroutine?

I have a form that i am using that I would like to update at certain points in the code. I have the screenupdating set to false but it seems that this is keeping the userform from refreshing as well. Is there a way to refresh the userform without turning the screenupdating back on (because the user cannot see what is happening behind the scenes.

The following code is part of a much larger module. In the code I've set application.
screenupdating to false; however, it resets itself within 2 lines of unrelated code.
The first message box returns "Screen Updating = False", the second returns "Screen Updating = True". I have a suspicion that this is related to the Cube Analysis Add-in
I recently installed (Excel Add-in for Analysis Services).
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
MsgBox ("Screen Updating = " & Application.ScreenUpdating)
Application.StatusBar = ("Setting up report... Finding you selection...")
'get the user selected text and the column in which it can be found
lookupVal = Sheets("Sales Leads").TreeView1.SelectedItem.Text
lookupCol = Mid(Sheets("Sales Leads").TreeView1.SelectedItem.Key, 3, 1) 'the nodekeys are always "NK" & <column> & <count of nodes> so the third value in the key is the column.
MsgBox ("Screen Updating = " & Application.ScreenUpdating)

A little context:
Searching this forum for "sleep", "delay" or "animation" will bring up a host of threads referring to the kernel32 function, sleep. This is a great way of putting small delays into code without the potential "synchronisation" problems of application .ontime calls or the "ugliness" of multiple-thousands looping.
My question:
When I call sleep (with values in the hundreds of milliseconds) several times in a macro, it seems like the computer just "gives up" screen updating after a few (maybe 50) iterations. The macro still takes the time I'd expect, accounting for all the sleeps, but it stops showing the intermediate steps and just shows the end result after the macro ends.
Is this something to do with RAM? Is there something about calling this command too much or too frequently that kernel32 doesn't like? Is my computer a useless bag of nails and spit?

I thought I could disable this with Application.DisplayAlerts = False but when I do this, Excel freezes. Im I doing something wrong. How can I supress this window?

I have a workbook in excel 2003 which I had been running the following macros (listed below). We recently upgraded to Excel 07, and neither are working. When I try to run them, the "debug" option highlights the following line in the sort macro "Range("A2:z" & lastcell).Sort key1:=.Columns(1)". This is driving me crazy, as the macros worked perfectly under the older version of Microsoft. Is there an issue with crossfunctionality between '03 and '07'.
Private Sub Worksheet_change(ByVal target As Excel.Range)
If target.Column = 1 Then
ThisRow = target.Row
startRow = 1
i = 1
Set ws = ActiveSheet
maxRow = Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Row
maxCol = Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Column
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
