    How to stop Excel from animating range selections?

    Hello,

    In my VBA programme I select a lot of different ranges. At present Excel shows these range selections on screen. This makes that the user gets to see Excel jumping from one sheet to another during the programme's execution.

    How can I switch off this behaviour?

    Thanks and rgds,

    Gerry

    Hi
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False

    You might also think about not doing the selections
    e.g Range("A1").Select
    Selection.Value = 3

    can be shortened to
    Range("A1").Value = 3

    regards
    Paul

    Paul,

    Put this line at the beginning of your code:

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False

    change false to true to switch back on again
