    ScreenUpdate does not work with a macro that activates different workbooks

    Hi,
    I have a code that matches hidden columns in 2 different workbooks. It is a part of a UserForm that activates different processes and I couldn't avoid activating the workbooks.
    Eventhough I use Application.ScreeUpdating = False the screen still flickers. Is there any trick I might use to avoid it? Thanks in advance!

    Surround your VBA code with CODE tags e.g.;
    [CODE]your VBA code here[/CODE]
    The # button in the forum editor will apply CODE tags around your selected text.

    Great, it works! It solved my problem, though a bit differently that I had expected
