I ran your macro and it worked fine for me. All the activity in your macro
was hidden.

Since you didn't close the workbooks in your code, the two files Hector and
Ken were still visible, but other than that, no activity was shown.

 

[Guest]

Ok may be i did not make myself clear. How do i make
those workbooks invisible?

 

[Guest]

It works the same way with or without your code. Ok may
be i did not make myself clear. How do i make those
workbooks invisible?

 

[Tom Ogilvy]

You made yourself clear.

The alternative it to remove all the Select and Activates in your code.
when I ran your code, the workbooks are invisible.

As written, with the addition of application.screenupdating = False, it
would be expected not to show the workbooks and the activities on the
workbooks.

Has anyone suggested something besides screenupdating (or rewriting your
code)?
