Macro - Prevent screen refresh

Is there a way to prevent the workbook screen display getting refreshed as a
macro runs, and make the macro run in the background without refreshing the
worksheet display.

Maybe it runs faster that way.


Rgds,

You are quite correct. try this:

application.screenupdating=false
'
'your code here
'
application.screenupdating=true
