I have attached macro code, which populates a three page template and clears the contents, so that the process can be repeated. I would like to stream line the macro which populates the template - currently there is alot of screen flickering back and forth between worksheets.

I was originally using the Application.ScreenUpdating=False method...but it was still a little jumpy... so Richard Schollar (a valued member in our forum) helped me with this code and it seemed to work...
Now I am trying to apply it again to another macro and it is not working so well. The thing I found is that on some people's computers it does work well, but not on mine.
Does anyone know why that is and how I can fix it so it doesn't flash on mine either?
I've created a macro that runs for about 3 seconds. While the macro runs, the active worksheet display jumps around because of the various cell references being addressed in the macro.
Is there a way to stop the jumping around? How can a simple "Progress" screen be displayed while the macro is running?
1: Is their anyway I can get rid of the File, Edit, View, etc buttons at the top of the document so everyone that opens it can not see them? and also the save button, the idea is they have to use the button to save the sheet.
2: I have a button on the sheet with a macro that saves the sheet once it has been worked on, the sheet flashes when this button is clicked is there any way I can stop the sheet flashing ?
i have an excel with two sheets containing both formula and vba code... but it will flicker when i click every command button? how will i stop flickering?

What I mean: I got a "UserForm", it got 9 buttons and each of them have a macro (everything works perfectly), but is there a way without affecting the current macro for each button, somehow when pressed chosen me button, it flashes while delivering its intended macro?
Sample:
UserForm:
in there
Button
in this button have a macro
Sub blqh_blqh
hfhglhgd
vfdbdfbd

View 9 Replies View Relatedmy excel sheet runs through a lot of calculations, opens Flowmaster, a simulations program, passes on data, receivs data and so on. Is there any way to have a user input to stop the whole simulation. During the first tries I had a lot of break point in my debugger. But now I want to have a button to hit or better just some keys to hit to stop it without using the ctrl+alt+del which closes everything.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a macro launched from a command button that sometimes puts a bar at the left side of the window. When it executes the line Sheets("graph").Select the first line in the macro it puts the bar at the right side of the window. The characteristics of the bar are:
1) It is associated with the main excel window - if you minimize the window containing the worsheet the bar is still visible
2) It is one of two widths, about 1/4" or about 2.5"
3) If you move an Excel toolbar to the left side of the screen the bar disappears. If you move the toolbar back to the top of the page it doesn't return but it can appear the next time you run the macro.
4) It only appears some times you run the macro - I can go days without seeing this problem and then it happens every time I run the macro.
Is there a feature or VB code that will take a screen shot in excel for the sheet that I have active?
What I would like to do is run a macro that does a few things, then takes a screen shot and bundles it up in an email to send (Outlook on Exchange). Since the report is 30 MB it cannot be emailed and taking the time to compose a report w/screen shot takes too much time.
I created a macro, assigned to a menu button, that selects and prints a range on the active sheet. I created the macro with the recorder, then edited it to eliminate the excess. When I run the macro, though, it takes up to ten seconds to print the page and the screen flashes repeatedly while it's running. I also noticed that the length of the delay and the number of flashes seems to be related to the number of lines of code, because the delay was much longer and the flashing more excessive before editing.
Sub PrintContrReview_Click()
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$Y$5:$Z$20"
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftHeader = "&F"
.RightHeader = "&A &D"
.LeftMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(1.25)
.Zoom = 95
End With
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1
End Sub
So what is the cause of the flash and the delay, and how do I eliminate them?
I searched for this and found a few examples on splash screens, but if someone could help I would appreciate it.
Basically I have this massive macro that runs, I recorded some of it, and VBA the rest. It does a bunch of things like bringing in different spreadsheets, formatting vlookups blah blah blah... Anyway for a nice touch I was hoping that I could get a splash screen or something that will run while this macro is running in the background. How hard would this be? The macro is button driven...
I have a splash screen I want to display while a macro runs. I've created all the necessary code based on information from this site but have a question about where to actually put the code as all the example I've seen are based on workbook open events.
I tried placing my code
UserForm1.Show
with in the macro I waned the splash screen to be displayed during but that doesn't work. Well, it does, but not as I intended. The splash screen pops up for the specified duration as part of the macro stopping the macro, then closes and the rest of the macro finishes running.
Do i need to call the splash screen from a certain point in the macro I wish it to be displayed during? I dont want the macro to stop running while the splash screen is showing.
I'm just looking to prevent users from using the print screen or the alt print screen buttons on the keyboard. I have this script that works if I use "39" (Right Arrow)but wont work if I use "42" (Print Screen Button).
View 5 Replies View RelatedI m wondering if it is possible to cause a worksheet tab, within a workbook, to flash? What I have is a check box, that when clicked, opens up a hidden worksheet. What I would like to have happen is once the worksheet is unhidden, the worksheet tab begins to flash to show the user it is now active.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI originally posted this question with out the code I'm using. I am trying to make a specific cell flash to catch the attention of other dispatchers. The problem is when I we try to close the active page it will automatically open. The only way we can completely close the page is to close Excel completely. Doing this though also closes several other pages that we need to have remaining open.

I have solved many problems with the solutions presented here.
I have multiple workbooks which contains numerous different dates.
and I need to make them flash when the dates are due within one week etc.
I would like to know what kind of command in vba or formula in excel it needs.
how to make an object, e.g. Oval Object to flash a solid yellow & white colour? I can make blinking cells, but not objects.
View 12 Replies View RelatedThis might sound daft, but im just wondering if it is possible to Flash text 2 different colours in a cell. Cell A1 will say - - - Well done. and I want it to flash blue and red, but not use VBA to do it. Can it be done or am I wishful thinking? This would be on Office 97.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI mean to format a cell in a way that it will flash if certain conditions are met. For example : to make C14 to flash if B14>0. Different colour formatting is not enough to catch the "oldies" eyes!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to get a range of cells to flash when they get close to todays date, I have tried but can't do it, not very good at conditional format or vba, easy step by step if poss, i have sheet if required,
todays date = 11/01/12 (in cell O1 as autodate)
title in cell K7 is date on site
in Cell K8 = 13/01/12
in Cell K9 = 19/02/12 etc....
I would like this cells background to flash if its 2 days from the onsite date
I have % figures in the following cells, E20, G20, I20, K20, L20, F24, H24, J24, G28, I28, H32, F16, J16, G12, I12, H8.
These figures are the result of a formula of other cells, with constantly changing values, therefore the % figures are constantly changing as well.
What I would like to do is highlight the cell with highest % figure, ideally to 'flash', either cell colour or flashing text.
I have written some code to be executed in Sheet1 which copies formats from Sheet1 to Sheet2 and then values from Sheet 3
Sheets("Sheet1"). Range("E4:M9").Copy Sheets("Sheet2").Range ("A1").Offset(9 * i + 3, 1)
Sheets("Sheet3").Range("P90:W93").Copy _
Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1").Offset(9 * i + 5, 2).PasteSpecial _ Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks _
:=False, Transpose:=False
The code does exactly what I want it to do, but when Sheets 2 and 3 are hidden images of what is being pasted briefly flash up on the screen. Is there a way of avoiding this? The amount of data in the whole sheet is quite large (about 4MB), could it just be that the program is running too slowly?
i need to make a button that Immidiately stops all macro's, Or (and This will maby be little more difficult) Stop all macros on a specific time inserted in 1 cell
the macro's that i want to stop running, are all single macro's which i activate with only 1 button i created.
i like something like this:
if "A1"(this is the cell where i have my updated clock) == A2 (the time i insert here stops the macro's at this time) do stop Macro's
If you run it now, ctrl t, it produces letters and changes alphabets as it hits a yellow box. If i change or add a yellow box, the letters change fine. The macro works perfectly, but instead of inputting the range or K3 to what ever, i would like to to run this macro and stop once it sees the row with the sort number of 4. ( this changes row postion depending on which sheet im working on, this is the problem).

I have a choice of 9 command buttons on a form that enter a short string of text into a textbox. Each button enters a different string into the textbox. The string is the prefix to a product serial number. Once the user has clicked the button & entered his preferred prefix I would like the cursor to be flashing after the last character ready for the user to manually type in the remainder of the product serial number. I'm guessing (with my limited ability) that I have to create a function to do this & then call the function when the button is clicked ?
