Hi all.

I'm having a real problem with a workbook which I use to maintain product and spare parts data as well as provide tools to extract and present it.

I have buttons that navigate to a specified sheet using VBA and hide all others to keep the backend stuff accessible only to me. Yes, it used the dreaded .select!

For some reason, though, I sometimes get significant "bleeding" where every time I move to a cell a different, hidden sheet flashes up for a second over half the sheet. It's extremely irritating and make the whole thing difficult to use. I've experimented with navigating to a dummy sheet that's blank first, but that hasn't stopped it.

If I unfreeze the panes, the bleeding stops, but as soon as I re-freeze them it starts happening again.

It also only seems to happen if I've navigated to certain sheets first before going to another, and then that sheet bleeds through.

Hope I've explained that okay, here's the navigation function I'm using at the moment for your reference:

VBA Code:
Function NavTo(Destination As String)

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
    Set wb = ThisWorkbook
    
   
    wb.Sheets(Destination).Visible = True
    wb.Sheets(Destination).Select

    For Each sh In wb.Sheets
        If sh.Name <> Destination Then sh.Visible = xlVeryHidden
    Next sh
    
    wb.Sheets("DUMMY").Visible = True
    wb.Sheets("DUMMY").Select
    wb.Sheets("DUMMY").Visible = xlVeryHidden
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
    
End Function

I've tried playing with the .ScreenUpdating, using and removing the dummy sheet and messing with the order, but so far nothing I do solves it.

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
I don't know if this will change anything, but you need to change this line in the code:
wb.Sheets(Destination).Activate

Selecting a sheet could mean you are selecting multiple sheets. Activating a sheet makes it the only one you are working.

Do you have other macros running? Specifically sheet event macros?
