Hello,
I'm developing a project where I must update a web connection (CSV file) and return some of the updated data. For updating the connection I use RefreshAll function.

In the first tests, using Office 365, it worked perfectly. However, when the tests using Office 2016 started, there was a problem I couldn't solve yet: after running the RefreshAll function, Excel activates the sheet where the connection was created and selects the range with the connection data. After that, I can't go back to the main sheet using code (it only returns to the main sheet when I click the sheet using the mouse.

The same thing happens if I refresh the connection mannually (without VBA code).

The connection property "Enable background refresh" is unchecked.

Please check the code below:

VBA Code:
Sub AtualizaConexao()
    With ThisWorkbook
        .RefreshAll
        DoEvents
        .Sheets("Principal").Activate
        .Sheets("Principal").Range("A1").Select
        MsgBox "Concluído"
    End With
End Sub

I was wondering if anyone has stumbled across something like that.

Thank you.
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
You cannot do that in XL2016 because Microsoft doesn't update Power Query to new version.
You need to buy new version of Office (365 or 2019) if you want use this option and some more
(it's all about money all the time)
