    Shapes disappear when macro is run

    Hi

    I have about 10 shapes on a worksheet. Half of them run VBA when clicked.

    One of the shapes runs a VBA procedure that imports data from another workbook and populates another worksheet (in the workbook with the shapes). However, for part of the time (about 2-3 seconds) whilst the VBA is being run all the shapes disappear.

    Just a few points to make:
    (1) I am not using the copy PasteSpecial method. Instead I am using the following method.
    Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Resize(rng.Rows.Count, rng.Columns.Count).Cells.Value = rng.Cells.Value

    (2) The following settings have been applied at the start of the VBA:
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.EnableEvents = False
    Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual

    Any help would be REALLY appreciated!

    Many thanks in advance
    Bill

    Hello BarneyRub,

    It sounds to me like you a DoEvents statement in your code. This will allow Excel to update the worksheet while importing the data from the other workbook.
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Remember To Do the Following....

    1. Use code tags. Place [CODE] before the first line of code and [/CODE] after the last line of code.
    2. Thank those who have helped you by clicking the Star below the post.
    3. Please mark your post [SOLVED] if it has been answered satisfactorily.
