Hi

Is there away to display all headings without using Active Window.
The following code works fine but i don't want to open and activate each sheet just to turn on Headings, as this triggers other objects like WS_Actvate etc.

Code:
            For Each ws In Sheets
                ws.Visible = xlSheetVisible
                ws.Activate
                With ActiveWindow
                    .DisplayHeadings = True
                    ' more
                End With
            Next ws

Cheers Paul
 

Excel Facts

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Couldn't you just put that command into each sheet's _Activate event, so that it only fires when the sheet's actually opened?
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
ActiveWindow.DisplayHeadings = True
End Sub

Just use the sheet's _deactivate event...
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Deactivate()
ActiveWindow.DisplayHeadings = False
End Sub
