    Cannot open other files while running stopwatch macro

    I am stumped on how I can fix my macro to allow other spreadsheets to be opened while I run my macro for a stopwatch in the background. The purpose of this stopwatch is to time how long it takes to complete other tasks so it is pivotal to be able to run other spreadsheets. Any help would be appreciated!
