The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Application.ScreenUpdating = False does not work

Asked by taduh in VB Script, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: Microsoft, Excel, 2003, VBA

Hi Experts,
I have a spreadsheet where I have created a console page to run a variety of reports from. While the reports are running, I would like the focus to stay on the console page. I use application.statusbar to keep the users apprised of what is happening. I have tried using application.screenupdating = false both before I branch to a report subroutine and also within the report subroutine in an attempt to keep it from shifting the focus to the report page, but it is not working. When I hit the button to run the reports, the various reports pop up as they are being run instead of the focus staying on the console page. I am using and need to use sheetname.activate within each of the report subroutines. Could this be causing the application.screenupdating = false statement to be overridden? If so, is there some other way to keep the report screens from flashing as the reports are run?

Thanks for your help,

             Here is the code that calls the report subroutine:
If Range("Typerun") = "Standard" Then
        If Range("BncSf") = "True" Then
            application.ScreenUpdating = False
            Call Print_BounceSafe_PDF(Range("BncSfPath"))
        End If
         .
         .
         .
 
Here is the report subroutine:
 
Sub Print_BounceSafe_PDF(RptPath As Range)
'x
Dim reportname As String
 
 
application.StatusBar = "Refreshing Bounce Safe Report"
 
 'If file already exists, delete it.
        If Dir(RptPath & ".pdf") <> "" Then
            reportname = RptPath & ".pdf"
            Kill reportname
        End If
        
 
 
Sheets("bounce safe").Activate
 
'Execute RHXL (Control 11) Refresh (Control 1)
application.CommandBars(1).Controls(11).Controls(1).Execute
Calculate
 
Call Print_PDF_Rpt
 
application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
