I almost never want to see the screen update when I run a macro (unless I'm troubleshooting)
I've gotten into the habit of begining all macros with:
Application.ScreenUpdating=False

But I've also got in the habit of NOT ending the code with:
Application.ScreenUpdating=True

Are there any ill effects/problems that can result by not finishing out the macro by turning screen updating back on?

Thanks for your time.
Jase.
 

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
No, not really. It will reset when the code ends anyway.

Thanks!
I hadn't noticed any ill effects, but then thought it better that I check with the experts.

Not putting it in has the addd benefit that if you call one routine from another, the called one won't affect screenupdating for the calling routine.
