    Application.DisplayAlerts = False Doesn't work

    Hello all,


    My problem is: Excel does not seem to execute my commands.

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Nevertheless the values of the objects aren't updated. The values ​​are: True and continue to be: True.

    I already made ​​a new Excel file. Containing a macro with only the text above, but problem persists. It seems to be a setting; it has worked and it no longer works. Does anyone have an idea what's going on.

    If you're stepping through the code, ScreenUpdating will remain True. I guess that's so that you can see what is happening on the worksheet.

    Don't know about the DisplayAlerts. What message is it displaying that it shouldn't?

    Both of those settings reset to True when your code ends and also appear True in step through mode.

    @RS: thanks for the confirmation. I knew that ScreenUpdating remained True during Step Through (as it caused me some confusion at one point) but I hadn't realised that DisplayAlerts did the same. Good to know.

    Love the signature. I think I've met some of those psychopaths

    Re: Application.DisplayAlerts = False Doesn't work

    Yes, i am stepping (F8) through the code, so that is the reason why. In Word VBA updating does work, so is different in Excel. When I run the macro (F5) in excel everything works well indeed.

    Thank you all for replying.
