    Good afternoon mmf

    Does your code use SendKeys?
    If so, then the Application.ScreenUpdating construct is ineffective against this command.

    I sused that one but still the same, I still see how the applciation just flash from one screen to another.

    Dominicb, What does sendkey means?
    I am just using very simple code to open and close workbooks with activate select copy and pasting commands in between

    Cheers

    Activate & Select are causing your problems here. As far as I know using either of them will switch screenupdating back to true, (as both Activate, and 'Select' are visual functions, so therefore HAVE to update the screen).

    You need to recode your copy & paste routines to not use the select or activate functions.
